How Do You Deal With Co Workers?
If you have a job then you need to deal with co workers. The goal in effectively dealing with co workers is to reduce stress and conflict at work and to build alliances so you can effectively get your work done. Having a good working relationship with co workers can greatly enhance your work life and provide support when needed. Analyze your own emotional reactions. Most of us have an initial gut reaction when we first meet people. We form opinions quickly about whether we like them or not. This happens with co workers too. It is natural. The trick is to stop any initial bad reaction or feeling you have toward a co worker before it gets permanent. Outside of the workplace we can avoid people we initially don’t care for. At work we may have to work on projects and teams with the very people we have an initial negative feeling toward. Tell yourself this reaction is an initial gut reaction and it should be ignored. Try to think rationally and give your co worker an unprejudiced chance. Lo
