8 Tips to be your best at Work!
Let us all take time to reflect on our work ethic, habits, weaknesses, and strengths! Here are some do’s and don’t’s that may be effecting your advancements in your work field!
1.Not Promoting Ones Work. Plain and simple, be proud of what you do, and showcase it! You know your fantastic, so why not let your management, co-worker’s, and even yourself appreciate your creativity, dedication, and hard work you put in on your eight hour work day!
2.Getting Defensive: Someone who is defensive typically will be less likely to get any feedback at all from their co-worker’s. If someone feels their interaction with you has no meaning, and you are “set in your ways”, the likely will not share with you their input! Your relationships and progess at work may suffer from the lack of open communication. So take all that constructive critisism and use it as a tool! We can’t be perfect always!
3. Make Rash Decisions: Think it all through! Jumping the gun on any decision making without really weighing all your options can prove to be risky business.
4. Not Being Assertive: Speak Up! When you find their should be a change, a raise, or you have discovered your boss has no idea what shes talking about, do not be too shy to make a comment. Be sure to watch your tone, you wouldn’t want them to be cornered into the defensive catagory!
5. Being too Negative: No complaining! No one wants to hear whining and complaining, the day is hard enough at work! You likely will be creating an unpleasant enviornment for all of those around you!
6. Lying: -Enough said
7. Being Chronically Disorganized: People always pay attention to whether you do what you say your going to do, by when you say you’re going to do it. If the do, the may feel they have more confidence in you and you are a reliable person.
8. Not learning Technology: (My personal Biggest Down Fall): Don’t fight it, just go with it! Technology is ever changing, and we need to be sure to keep up to date with it so we may provide everyone with the appropriate information to the best of our ability! Don’t resist it because it will always come back to haunt you!
