Tips to excel in new role

Hi all, I'm after tips from seasoned public service workers about impressing and excelling in new role. After being in an APS5 position doing APS6 whenever needed I was overlooked for EOI opportunities. Now I'm moving to another department with a promotion at 6 level. Please give me tips from a manager( EL1/EL2) s point if view as what would impress you about a new 6s work,ethics and team fit. Why I'm asking is, due to being stuck at 5 for few years but with having private sector experience I'm hoping to move to EL1 level within the next 3 years, so would like to work towards it from day 1, thanks.
