| Five ways to gain respect in the office | Like (37) |
| Early success may be good for some, but it can also lead to arrogance. And if it does, there are chances that one may lose respect at the workplace. Professionals may taste success for sometime, but to be successful in the long run, respect plays major part to take you to the higher levels. Mahima Puri lists some points to keep in mind to gain respect at workplace. Help others succeed It is important to let go the 'me' factor and focus on 'us'. Says Gagan Adlakha, partner, Vyaktitva Consulting, a Delhi-based HR consulting firm. "If a person focuses on too much of 'me' at the workplace, the respect for him is likely to go down. Instead, one should have an open mind and help others succeed too at the workplace." Such an attitude is likely to go a long way in earning respect for any individual. He described an incident where a senior manager with a telecom company encouraged his team to do the best and earned their respect. Gradually, they started believing that they have some potential in them. This unlocked potential made the team one of the best in the country. As a result, the senior manager not only got rewarded for his efforts, his team won accolades across the organisation. Share Credit As much it is important to help others, it is equally important to share credit with peers. If you are handling projects and working as a team, it is important to share the credit within the team and push them forward, instead of individually taking away the credit yourself. Taking away credit may work once with the senior management, but in the long term they will also like to see if you are a good team leader as well. Read More...
