Creating and maintaining a good team at work is essential for many reasons. This means getting along with others and developing great working relationships which allow for benefits such as open lines of communication, constructive criticism and problem solving, to name but a few.
When you are not around, others may be talking about you or your responsibilities. Sometimes, with new management, they may not even realize that you are in charge of certain areas of have developed new ways of doing things. On paper, everything looks like it can be edited without emotion, but what happens when a change in the workplace affects you in a negative way? You guessed it - emotion comes into play.
The key here, for remaining employed as a part of a great team you have bonded with, is to be such an integral part of that team that, in your absence, others will promptly step forward if they feel your livelihood is about to be compromised without your knowledge.
Face it, we can't do everything by ourselves; we need a great team to back us, and us to back any member of that team whether they've earned their place or need to be given a chance to do great things.
This is merely a thought for the day and the whole thinkWORKnotJOB concept is based upon being a member of an unstoppable team. Please review the archives. Have a great day!
