You can increase your authority in the team if you are friendly and welcoming to all colleagues, do not shy away from corporate events, always keep your word and be able to defuse the tense atmosphere with an appropriate joke. Do not spread gossip behind the backs of your colleagues and tattle your boss.
There are many ways to increase your credibility in the team. Someone goes in search of books on psychoanalysis, and someone signs up for special trainings. Respected members of the work team feel at home in the office much better than those who are not respected and reckoned with. What can be done to achieve success in this direction?
The first steps
I must say that you need to start gaining your authority in the work collective from the first moment you appear in the office. Because then it will be very difficult to change the prevailing opinion about yourself. Friendliness, affability and sincere interest in colleagues - these are the "three pillars" on which the authority in the team is based. Having won the sympathy of as many employees as possible for your person, it is much easier and faster to become, if not a leader, then someone closer to him.
You should not shut yourself up and keep silent. You can put an end to your authority in the team if you constantly shy away from corporate events and festive get-togethers with colleagues. Such an employee may be thought that he disdains their society. However, caution is needed here, you cannot give your colleagues a reason for ridicule, so you need to leave the gatherings on your own feet and in a fairly sober state. A sense of humor and the ability to defuse the situation is worth its weight in gold, if there is no such skill, it needs to be developed. You should not rush to be the first to speak out about problems that arise at work - to create the image of a wise, reasonable and authoritative employee, you must first listen to the opinions of other colleagues and, after analyzing all the options, support the most faithful one.
What not to do
You can increase your authority in the team only if you are yourself, and not play - the game can always be noticed. If one of the team members does not evoke a feeling of sympathy, then it is better not to talk about him at all, not to gossip behind his back and not to tattle on him to his superiors. It is possible and necessary to reason with your opponent when his statements affect the generally accepted norms of morality and ethics, but if it is clear that a colleague is deliberately provoking to some actions, it is worth listening to him with the most imperturbable look, swinging his leg, playing with a pencil in his hand and impudently examining him nose, ears and other facial features. We can guarantee that next time he will pass by coldly and indifferently. You should not make false promises and let your colleagues down, you can increase your authority if you constantly keep your word.
As you know, people do not go to a strange monastery with their own charter. It is stupid to criticize the established order and norms, perhaps gradually something useless will go away by itself, if you make some effort for this, imperceptible to someone else's eye. And in the work collective it is not customary to devote colleagues to all the vicissitudes of their personal life, but it is also not worth answering in monosyllables - you can give the most detailed answer without going into details.
