Help! I’m Friends / Enemies With The Wrong People At Work

Listen Later

Either situation can be super hard and tricky.

Who we associate with (inside and outside of work) will impact us as humans. Our attitude, our personality, our actions, our work, etc.

Jim Rohn has the famous quote, "you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with"


Friends with the wrong people:

  1. Create some distance
  2. Start talking to some new people at work
  3. No thank you
  4. Rock those headphones
  5. Change up lunch habits
  6. Alone time
  7. Reserve a space to get out of a shared space for a couple hours
  8. If they aren't getting it, explain you have some big personal goals you're working towards and really want to put major focus on work
  9. Stay kind, cordial and nice

    10. Enemies with the wrong people:

    1. Why? No reason, ok KAREN
    2. Do you need to apologies for something?
    3. Work hard, let your results shine and contribute
    4. Be kind and nice
    5. Invite that person to lunch or  coffee
    6. Ask the right people for advice, in a professional tactful way
    7. Time will squash most things
    8. Try their suggestions / ideas / thoughts
    9. Don't retaliate or react at all
    10. Do the right thing for your customers
    11. Ask them how they are doing

      12. Notes:

      • Actions speak louder than words
      • Be the bigger person / take the high road
      • You are responsible for you
      • Your reputation will be impacted on how you respond to someone's stuff
