Four Characteristics of High Performers:

Open to feedback – you solicit it and listen. You do not always agree with it or necessarily change, but you ask several open ended questions to dig deeper to understand and find context.
Constant learner – you have internalized the principle that "no one knows everything about anything". Why? Because situations change. Your job is to "connect the dots" and make the connections between what you learn and how you can apply it. Continuous learning also makes you humble and curious with the expectation and enthusiasm to discover something new.
NOT arrogant – Being arrogant is a major derailer and people around you can detect it fairly quickly. Arrogance is thinking you are the smartest person in the world and letting everyone know that you are through your statements and behaviors.
Adaptive – probably the most important of the four. Adaptability is recognizing that things have changed, there is a problem, and you need to adjust to meet the goal. You know you are not adaptive when you are always a "victim", reactive, and not changing your behavior to either solve the problem or accomplish your goal.
