How to gain popularity and respect of your colleagues

Illustration

It is great for every office when there is a person who can make others' days more pleasant, provide energy and well-being. Both superiors and colleagues like such a person even if he or she does not work the hardest or does not come with the largest volume of new ideas. Such a person is enjoying a special kind of popularity that encourages motivation and mutual respect within the whole team. Do you want to be the most popular person in your office, too? Then try the following tips from livecareer.com.

Offer help

Your colleagues should know that they can rely on you. However, if you offer your help them and they refuse, do not force it. Be also careful so that nobody abuses your willingness to help. You would quickly lose the respect of your colleagues.

Smile on others

This does not mean that you should pretend smile. Be natural and show your true feelings. When you are in a good mood, let your smile help others feel the same. Spread your positive energy, but be careful to not exhaust the others too much.

Be perceptive

Try to be sensitive to others. Give them a break when you see that they need it, encourage them, allow them to save their face in problem situations. And when you go to buy a snack, take something for your colleagues, too.

Be loyal to the employer

Your loyalty to the company can inspire others. However, they should also know that if you have to choose between a blind support to the company and doing something that is right at the moment, you would choose the latter option.

Listen to the people around you

Take the time to talk with your colleagues. Focus on learning how to listen to them and remember the stories that you hear. Everyone will appreciate when you know something about him and you will ask how something you were taking about is going on. Again, it is necessary to maintain sensitivity. Definitely do not gossip around the company.
