How to Get Along With Peopleat Work
In a workplace, a person will encounter many types of people. While most of them would be nice and cordial, there will be some who would seem eccentric and selfish, and then there will the ones whom use would not be able to withstand for even a second. The only constant which will be there is that you will have to get along with each individual, maintaining a cordial and effective relationship. This is of course easier said than done, but when you have to spend nearly 8-10 hours at a place 5 to 6 days in a week, some changes in your attitude towards people are not that much of a sacrifice. Eventually it is you who will reap the benefits.

You should know when to speak and how to speak
Office is not a place to be frank. Even if you are a verbose person in normal life, try to cut down on it at office. This does not mean that you should not be friendly, but remember business is business and a cup of tea is a cup of tea. Your tone at the office should also be very measured, neither too loud, but assertive enough for people to notice and respond. -

Professionally, you should be at the top of your game
No matter how good of a human being you are, everything goes down the drain if you don’t excel at the stuff you are hired to do. People will always look down on you in this case and slowly but surely you will lose your significance. On the contrary, if you are good at what you do, instead of you making the running, it will be your colleagues trying to get a hold of you just out of sheer requirement. -

Avoid Cribbing and Arguments
Cribbing and gossiping is a common trend in all the workplaces. However, you have to be above all that. Avoid interfering into the personal and professional issues of others, and gradually people will start admiring you for that. It is also necessary to avoid being embroiled in potentially volatile discussions, for example about race, religion, sex and politics. -

Be helpful
Never let an opportunity to help others pass by you, for this sort of gesture is most pivotal in establishing a cordial relationship with your colleagues. If you have the capability and resources, try to solve the issues and problems of others.
