1. COMMUNICATION
Communication, communication, communication! This is the vehicle that allows people to work together. In our society, our learning process is based on learning to communicate with teachers and parents.
So when we come to the real world, this social conditioning leads us to resort to subterfuge-trying to figure out how to beat the system, gain extra favours, say the "popular" thing or to keep our views to ourselves rather than "rock the boat."
We should change this mindset and express what we feel about without fear and let others know where we stand. It doesn't matter your views should match your superiors. Your peers will respect you as a man with principles.
2. RESPECT YOUR COLLEAGUES
Respect of self and of others includes: respect for the environment; other people's personal privacy, their physical space and belongings; different viewpoints,philosophies, religion, gender, lifestyle, ethnic origin, physical ability, beliefs and personality.
When we learn to respect out peers, we accept their differences. We can learn to use those differences for our mutula benefit. For example, the personal who can sit all day in front of a computer and be productive can help the person who works best by talking and moving around. Both functions are important. Rather than criticising the other for being different, we can learn how different people see the world. Lack of respect and acceptance lead to conflict and hostility.
3. HAVE A VISION
Vision means seeing beyond the obvious-seeing the unseen. It is a trait used to describe leaders and entrepreneurs. Where does vision come from? For some people, it is an inborn trait. They have always seen things that others cannot see. And, having seen the vision, they head straight for it! They follow their vision in spite of obstacles or non-believers.
4. LEARN TO BE A PARTNER
Partnership encompasses individual responsibility and trust that other people will perform according to their commitments for the good of the team and partners. Partnership accepts that different people have different viewpoints and beliefs; those differences are used as positive aspects for broadening the team experience. Partnership encourages the female and male aspects of ourselves to work together, without either one over-ruling or dominating the other. Lack of partnership leads to isolation and unhealthy competition.
5. BE ENERGITIC
Very positive energy forces are released when people feel creative, have the freedom to express their opinions, and feel respect from their management and their peers. The opposite energy creates hostile workplace situations.
Your contribution to the collective positive energy is using your own creativity, communicating well, having respect for others, adapting to cahnging situations, working well with others and enjoying what to do. Your contribution to the collective negative enrgy is withholding your talents, communicating without respect, fighting and arguing with others, resisting changes, creating tension with others and hating what you do.
6. BE FLEXIBLE
Flexibility includes the ability to adapt to changing situations and allowing one's own beliefs and habits to change as needed. Learning to see trends and prepare for them is one way of learning flexibility. Another is to learn about ourselves, or own strengths and our weaknesses.
Then, work to operate from our strength, allowing others to help us with our weaknesses.
7. BUILDING SPIRITUALITY
Verbally recognise the value of individuals in all you do.
- Get to know the people with whom you work and know what is important to them.
- State your personal ethics and your beliefs clearly
- Support causes outside the business
- Encourage leaders to use value-based discretion in making decissions
- Demostrate your own knowldge and spirituality in all your actions
- Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
