Working with other people is not always an easy thing to do (and the same is true for students who share their time with others). The management of colleagues may be causing the occasional headache. It is not easy to be around other people from 9 to 5 every day. There are people who are jealous, grumpy bosses, people with difficult personalities, etc.
However, the best thing you can do is keep calm and try to be good with everyone, that even if they are not your friends for life, at the very least, they will have to respect you. To get others to respect you at work, you need to stay calm and have no qualms about communicating with others. You can earn the respect of others even if you have not had good impressions of others until now.
Dress well
Although it may seem superficial, it is quite important that your appearance is always correct. Respect begins with the dress code. The way you dress will determine how you expect you to be treated by others. Eliminate clothing that you think is not too appropriate to earn the respect of others.
For example, if you go in jeans, a T-shirt and sneakers to a work meeting, you will be sending a clear message: laziness and disinterest. These clothes are fine for more informal moments, but if you really want to impress your colleagues, choose clothes that, in addition to being good, show a firm personality.
Be an organized person
First impressions continue with the organizationā¦ To do this, you must have a clean workspace so that you show others that you are capable of managing your space and also your time. People earn the respect of others by being orderly and organized. There are people who are messy by nature and will have to do a little more to improve this.
First impressions continue with the organization. A clean workspace emphasizes the hardworking and hard-working focused part of you. Those people earn respect by being orderly and together. Naturally, messy personalities will have to fight this.
You just have to put more emphasis on where you put the common things like pens, paper, paper clips, diaries, notes ... etc. Clean your furniture and understand that tidy things will also make you feel much better.
Have a good attitude
If you really want to earn the respect of others, you will have to have a good attitude towards life and things that are happening. Intelligence, life experiences, leadership, teamwork skills, good problem solving, skills built into daily tasksā¦ all of this is the right way to earn respect.
You should know that the attitude towards work carries the same weight as performance. If you show yourself as a boastful person, a person who knows everything or wants to command everything, or perhaps you show yourself overconfident ... you will not have the respect of anyone you have in your work environment. Also, if you are a disrespectful person, they will quickly lose respect for you as well. Co-workers will appreciate that you are a calm, kind person and that you are also pleasant to the eye.
Also, if you want to be respected it will be necessary for you to work on your social skills so that you are assertive, respectful with others. You should know how to express your opinion while respecting that of others, it is important to learn to say 'no' with a serene tone and looking the other person in the eye ... also, positive body language will help others to trust you. And if that was not enough, an assertive person must accept criticism and the consequences of their actions before blaming others.
Keep balance
Respect is also a matter of balance. Learn when to be firm, when to show your authoritarian streak or also, you must learn to know when it is necessary for you to be silent. When you work in a team you will have to observe other people, use your eyes and your ears to determine what line they express, keep emotions under control during your workday.
It is also important that you make yourself respected outside the office, for example on social networks or through whatsapp or email. Your virtual behavior both personally and professionally also shows how you are. To avoid problems, in your social networks you can have a personal and a professional one to be able to separate between the two.
