Good relations with your co-workers and your superiors will not only help you but will make work more enjoyable. Every employee wants to be liked by other employees. If
you treat people the way they want to be treated, they will like you. Some of us don't know if what we do is objectionable to others. I am going to give you a list of things that attract other people to you and
things they find objectionable. When you move up in the company, you will need all the support you can get.
Praise People
Everybody enjoys being praised. People look for approval of themselves in others. But
you should praise people only when they deserve it. If you praise people when they don't deserve it, or if you praise too much, you lose your credibility.
Don't exaggerate your praise. Make the praise as warm and
sincere as you can.
Don't Put People Down
Putting down a person can be very damaging to you and the other person's relationship wit you. People don't want to feel degraded by being called stupid, crazy,
weird, etc. Don't put down anyone even if they are not present. If you do, the word will get back to them and you will look bad. Always talk positively about people. Even if you don't like them, still speak highly of
them--you will be amazed at what this does.
If you must say something bad, don't say anything at all.
Don't Be Concerned With Your Interests Only
There is nothing wrong with caring and looking out for
yourself. Just don't make it noticeable to other people. You will be resented by other people if you seem selfish. Make sure others know you look out for them as well yourself.
Share The Credit
When others
have helped you accomplish something, share the credit with them. Even if their contribution was not as great as yours, still share the credit with them. You will be surprised
