INTRODUCTION:
At the work
place, you deal with people with different personality, ethnicity and skills.
Day in and day out, you use basic social skills to get by most interpersonal
relationships.
When you
interact with people, you learn about different personalities and behaviours.
This learning process forms the basis of the way you interact with others.
There are some
people at the workplace with whom you get along well. You look forward to
meeting them at work. You have lunch and coffee breaks together. You also
probably hang out with them after work. You support them in their work and stand
up for them when they are in difficulty.
There are also
people at the work whom you just abhor. Besides not looking forward to meet them
at work, you also try to limit interactions with them. These people exhibit
behaviours that are annoying or intimidating.
Examples of
these behaviours include falling behind in work and letting the team down,
wasting time by being petty and talking about personal issues, backstabbing,
intimidating, power seeking, making jokes at the expense of others, seeming to
know it all and complaining.
