Go With the Flow—Get Along With Others

Most people get fired from a job because they cannot get along with others. In an economy with double-digit unemployment, don’t let this happen to you. Find a way to get along with your coworkers, clients/customers, and supervisors. Look for common ground on which you can build a professional relationship.

  • Be aware of miscommunication and the damage it can do to relationships.
  • Avoid gossip and slander.
  • Don’t pass the blame or make accusations.
  • Observe how coworkers act and react so you have a better idea of how to deal with them.
  • Respect others’ views and differences.
  • Show an interest in others.
  • Be pleasant and positive.
