in #CASE you missed it… How To Get On Your Coworkers’ Good Side
Be more popular at work by doing what likeable people do.
We spend more time with our coworkers than anyone else during the workweek, so it’s always nice if everyone likes each other. We can’t change other people to make this happen, but we can get on our colleagues’ good side by doing a few of these things likeable people do at work.
Doing what you say and doing it when you say you’ll do it - When you slack, you affect your coworkers’ ability to get their work done. But if you’re reliable, you make their lives less stressful. So prove they can count on you and you’ll win their trust.
Taking an interest in your coworkers’ lives - Not in a nosy, busybody way, but genuinely caring about their personal lives. Asking how their kid’s recital or football game went can go a long way towards making you more likeable.
Putting others at ease - Master the art of making someone more comfortable when they’re feeling uneasy or self-conscious and they’re bound to like you more.
Letting someone else tell their story - It’s not all always about you. Don’t worry about interjecting your own thoughts, ideas, and stories all the time, focus on listening instead.
Not hogging the spotlight - When people help you along the way, it’s important to publicly acknowledge them and give credit where credit is due.
Remember names - It’s simple, but remembering names and using them in conversation is a great way to make people feel respected and listened to.
