How to become an Encouraging member or Leader in a Team at work place?

_______________

It is becoming harder and harder to maintain positive attitude in the current working environment when people are facing such an uncertain future because of current unprecedented economic crisis in our nation. Yet, there are simple ways we can adopt to change conditions at work.

First, start a day with a cheerful greeting with colleagues. When asked of How are you doing, say 'I am doing great or wonderful' with great energy. This attitude enlightens the sprit of not only yourself but others as well.

When you have a chance to describe a person or co-worker before many people, please always say positive aspects of that person. People have different strengths in many different areas with a lot of potentials. Words will eventually go around and they will find out any negative words.

Please try to encourage a person or give praises for the work. Simply focusing on weak point of person will not help at all in a team environment. Be open to giving praise and recognition. You yourself will eventually see the benefit by praising the person's work.

As a team, if your group or member is assigned to a new project which may be challenging, please always response with positive attitude by saying that we have a great opportunity instead of saying that we got another mundane task as usual.

Be very generous to others and be extremely thorough in everything you are doing. You will be trusted and set up role model among people. Make yourself available when your colleague needs help or assistance.

Print out these tips and put it down on dashboard in your car, so that you can see them every morning. People tend to not remember things, and need to see it to remember.

We all are working with people. The interpersonal and relational skills are so critical for the success of business. Right now most companies are facing such a difficult and challenging economic situation. The above tips definitely help all employees. Furthermore, you can adopt these tips even to your spouse, and to your children. Work and family are inseparable, and we will see a huge improvement when both work place and home are maintained with such a positive sprit.

We will be winners again!
