You can earn the respect of colleagues not only with your professional knowledge and the contribution you make to the common cause. It is also important to have a good reputation, which depends on your actions or inaction at certain critical moments. Reputation is one of the factors that affects your professional growth.
Instruction manual
one
In order not to spoil the reputation, do not give up the additional burden that may lie on the work team in the event, for example, of an unexpected illness of one of the employees. Performing your official duties “from” and “to”, be prepared to share with the others that part of the work that still needs to be done. By refusing, you show the management and the team that you are not worried about the company or that you do not want extra responsibility for the additional front of work. Your indifference will become an indicator that you can’t rely on you.
2
Another quality that you will not be forgiven neither at work nor at home is optional. It can be expressed both as non-punctuality and as non-fulfillment of these promises. If you are not responsible for your words, then let a lot of other people down. An optional person will never be entrusted with the performance of important and responsible work, this quality alone can forever ruin your reputation and put an end to your future career. Always soberly assess your capabilities and calculate your strength, keep your word no matter what it costs you.
3
Do not show off your knowledge, even if you are a really cool specialist. This behavior will turn you away even from those who would like to seek advice. Do not impose your knowledge on your colleagues, believing that only you understand how to do it right. This brings discord to the team, which is entrusted with the work on a large project, the result of which depends on each team member. Offer your solutions, but do not try to impose them.
4
Shifting responsibility to others is also not worth it, even if you are not to blame for the mistake, but you did the work together. This is especially unforgivable to the leader, even a small team. Take the blame for the failures and only then decide together with your subordinates why this happened. Confession of guilt do not take it as weakness. In the eyes of management, this is a guarantee that you are aware of it and try not to repeat it.
5
Engaging in intrigues against someone and dissolving gossip can also negatively affect your reputation. It is not necessary to enter into any groupings, and, moreover, to lead them. This significantly complicates the work and heats up the situation in the team. They try to get rid of such employees first of all, and no high professionalism can help you in this case.
