My Workplace is my Business - I don't even want to hear that anymore. If you are a business owner or an employee then you need to be aware that your work place is the front line of how you will be remembered. This does not mean that you cannot be nice to your employees. However, you have to make sure that you have nice things to say to them and you need to let them know on a regular basis just how much you appreciate them.
You cannot just hand them a bag of money for something and think that it is going to change your mind in the future. This may be true in some cases but it should not be the case in all cases. There are certain things you can do that will make you be a nice person and your employees will start to like you and respect you. These things may be small but they will add up.
Never belittle anyone in your workplace - You may not be able to change other people but you can certainly change yourself in front of others. When you speak ill of another person in your workplace you are not being nice at all. It makes it obvious that you do not like the person and this will reflect on your body language when you are around him or her. You will want to make sure that you don't say anything in front of anyone that would make them think that they are better than you.
Be positive about people - The last thing you should ever do in your workplace is to be negative about people. This will only benefit the other person. Do not say things to other people that you would never say to someone else. This can help to keep your workplace happy and productive.
Be a team player - The last thing that you can do to make sure that your workplace is happy and productive is to put aside personal feelings for work issues. If you are the type of person that gets upset over things then you will want to avoid your work area at all costs. Be respectful of your co-workers, even if you have to leave the work place at times. Your co-workers are there for your good or for your bad. Treat them well and you will find that they are there to treat you well also.
Follow deadlines - Make sure that you set your work deadlines and stick to them no matter what. If you don't you will find that you are more likely to forget about your other commitments outside the workplace. This is something that many people forget to do. Even though you might love your job, you want to make sure that it is still going to be there when you get home. When you work too much and don't have time for other things, you will lose your job sooner than you expected.
Learn to say no - You need to learn how to say no to certain things in your work place. This is something that many people just don't seem to learn early in their career. Some people seem to think that they can work as long as they want and the boss understands their needs. Sometimes this is true but sometimes people need a break and if you don't know what to say then you should ask for one. Don't be afraid of letting the boss know that you don't feel like working right now.
Learn to delegate - The more you delegate you will find that you can get more things done. When you have more things that you can do yourself, you will be less likely to feel overwhelmed at work. Delegate some of the work that is going to be difficult for you to do so that you can get more done. If you are struggling with something in particular try to find someone else to do it. You will want to make sure that you always stay organized so you don't forget anything important. This way you will be able to get the most out of your work day.
