Inputs from Times of India

THE ASK

This is a general problem in every organization

Whether you want to get ahead or simply keep your

job, you need to maintain your professionalism at the

office at all times. Doing otherwise will give your boss

the impression that you don't care about your work,

the company, or her.

PRIMARY

CHALLENGE

When you were made a leader, you

weren‟t given a crown; you were given

the responsibility to bring out the best in

others.

Primary challenge for any boss:

Late walk-ins

If you are a serial late comer to the

office, you will definitely find yourself on

this list. No one likes being taken

advantage of and with your „punctuality‟,

you might be doing exactly

Late walk-ins:

Lying is not

good

If the job is not done, don‟t fib about it. If

you are caught, it will be your fault.

Lying about work completion:

Poor

Teamwork

A team that laughs and works together

stays together, so make sure you get

along with your colleagues.

Poor Teamwork:

Social media

addict

You might love Facebook, Instagram and

Twitter, but keep that our of the office.

You are not being paid to flit hours away

on them.

Being a social media addict:

Procrastination

„Don‟t put off for tomorrow what you can

do today‟ is also a numero Uno work

rule. Shunning work onto the back

burner may be excused once or twice,

but not every day.

Procrastination:

Dress code

If your workplace says smart casuals,

keep away the flip flops. Most offices like

employees to stick to work wear rules.

Dressing inappropriately:

We feeling

You may have accomplishments to boot,

but no office likes a person who regularly

crows about his or her little victories.

Save the self credits for year-end

assessments and think more about

working cohesively, as a group.

Saying too much “I” instead of “We”:

Being

personal

Never ask for personal information of

either the boss or your colleagues. This

will be seen as crossing professional

boundaries and get you negative points.

Being personal

No

complaints

Sure, everyone has a work grouse now

and then, but constantly harping about

how the print machine is not working or

how the net is slow, will make you look a

nag. Instead, find a solution to the

problem yourself or deal with it like

everyone else is.

Constant complaining:

PRIMARY

CHALLENGE

“Know your

Boss”

“You must learn how to bravely and

clearly communicate the details of your

assignments so that your boss is more

aware. You cannot assume that your

boss understands the hours associated

with assignments”

Primary challenge is to express:

Thank

you.

Best

wishes.
