For many of us, even if we like it or not, our workplace is our second home. My workplace is my home.
We can also make our lives enjoyable here, not by changing the furniture or paint the walls, but by changing the way we interact with other people.
Beyond doing what you love and getting a nice salary, having a nice relationship with your colleagues can make you feel joy when you’re thinking about your job.
If things between you and other people at work aren’t going so well, these are a few things you could do to change that.
First of all, you have to remember that it all starts with you. The ones you meet are a reflection of your behavior.
Do some cleaning in your own garden and you’ll see that the way others treat you will change. Speaking of behavior, your attitude matters a lot.
You have to be open and positive, and for that you should leave for work in the morning with a positive attitude, expecting the best.
Most of times, when you convince yourself that you’re going to have a great day, you actually will.
Secondly, avoid gossip at all costs! I know that where there are many people, groups will be formed, but you shouldn’t gossip one another. Instead of that, find colleagues with similar concerns and talk about them.
When it comes to other people, you should stop judging and start seeing the full side of the glass. Look for the good in everyone, because every person has qualities, and offer honest compliments.
Nothing stimulates a person more than seeing that you appreciate his/her abilities.
Lastly, you should start seeing them as partners, not enemies.
Maybe you’re all fighting over a job in the company. It’s not a bad thing to be competitive, but keep in mind that you’re not enemies. After all, you’re all part of the same project, so you could say you’re partners.
