The ability to work in a team is one of the basic skills of a modern manager. In order for joint work for the good of the company to bring satisfaction, and the relationship between team members to be based on mutual trust and sympathy, it is necessary to win the respect of colleagues.
Instructions
Step 1
Be natural. In an unfamiliar environment, it is common for a person to behave differently, as usual, trying on the role of “his own guy on the board” or an ambitious newbie. Keep in mind, however, that if you feel uncomfortable in your new role, those around you are likely to notice. It is easier to win someone else's respect by demonstrating sincerity rather than trying to fit in with others.
Step 2
Show interest in others. An attentive listener is less common than a good storyteller, and is much more valuable. Remember the names of all your colleagues, their job title, area of interest. Celebrate the accomplishments of others consistently. Then they will celebrate your successes.
Step 3
Show yourself an active person. Take the initiative not only at a business meeting, but also when discussing corporate issues. Take responsibility for hosting a social event: this will show you not only an active person, but also help you get to know new colleagues better.
Step 4
Become a versatile person. Follow the news in the world of science, technology, culture. Attend trainings and seminars that don't have to be related to your job title. A person whose sphere of interest is not limited to work and watching evening television shows will always be interesting to those around him. However, do not deceive colleagues by telling how you participated in the Paris-Dakar races. Among your new entourage may be a person who knows the composition of the participants in all world auto races.
Step 5
Always do to others as you would like to be treated. This simple rule is familiar to everyone from childhood, but not everyone follows it. Meanwhile, relationships built on decency and mutual respect are the foundation of a healthy team. By demonstrating correct, responsible behavior, you will win the sympathy of those who are able to appreciate it.
