We all know that no company can work without good people to run it, but not everyone agrees on what that entails. A positive office environment should facilitate productivity and job satisfaction at the same time, but how do you achieve both? Usually either you're overworked and unsatisfied, or things are a little too easy and it seems like coworkers are socializing and having fun instead of working for their pay! The purpose of this blog is to provide tips and ideas for furthering that magical mix of productivity and social bonding that can make your business thrive.
You may not realize that you have the power to improve office relationships among your coworkers and employees, especially if you're in a particularly competitive or established office culture. But every culture allows some room for creating alliances, and your positive effect on those around you will be contagious. Over the weeks we'll look at how to establish a good team base, how to create alliances with other positive folks, how to enlist your boss in your career success, and how to bring out the best in those that work under you. We'll also discover the best ways to handle those difficult personalities around us, without letting them get under our skin.
The first step, as in any relationship evaluation, is to look at yourself. What are your pluses and minuses? Can you put yourself in others' shoes and take a good hard look at what they see in you? The better you understand how you are perceived, the more you will be able to adjust your own behavior for more positive, fulfilling, and goal-oriented results. After all, we can't change others, we can only change how we react to them. And in changing our responses, we can change everything!
