WALK AROUND FOR A FEW MINUTES EVERYDAY

Our workplaces become like our second home, which is why it is so important to interact with the family members in order to build a rapport. Don’t hence stick to your cabin or with the same old group of colleagues or groups you work with. Try and widen your gamut and make your presence felt; get yourself noticed by walking around in the floor every once in a while.

Walk around, greet others, and exchange warm smiles, also sometimes a word or two. This will help others to get to know you. Also a smile has the potential to brighten up an otherwise not a very pleasant day, for someone. This will make them see you in a favourable light, and the more people you get to like you, the better it is for your presence.

 

GIVE YOUR COLLEAGUES VALUE

Organize a small party congratulating your colleague. This will not only help you gain respect in the eyes of one person but in the process of getting people to come together to celebrate you will be getting yourself noticed and making your presence felt.

HAVE YOUR NAME APPEAR IN SOMETHING

Do anything through which you can make your worth felt in the company and your talent recognizable to the people working for it. You are going to be self publicising while nurturing your own expertise and putting it to application in the best possible manner, choosing the perfect platform you think suitable.

 

BE AN ACTIVE PART OF A TASK FORCE

Profess your leadership skills even better by exhibiting them when the situations call for it – this is a great way to show your managerial skills, because workplace brawls are pretty common and if you are someone who is otherwise respected by both the parties then chances are you will have an easy say at being able to mediate the conflict.  If not already close friends with both the parties then use diplomacy to relax the conflict. A great way to relax a conflict is through humour, but the issue with humour is, it weighs you down, in the sense, your seriousness is diluted, so if you want to use your humour, make sure that people don’t take it for granted and treat you as easy going and not so serious.

OFFER TO HELP WITH RESPECT TO ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING YOU KNOW OF

Offer to help the person who joined recently. Ask the others if and how you could help them with finishing their tasks. Share what’s yours. All of these gestures will be appreciated and an acknowledgement should come to you in ways you’re currently unaware of.
