Everyone at the beginning of a new job or position is very careful about the quality of their work. You never come late, do not put off your obligations, or spend time checking your Facebook account or private e-mail at work. In short, you try to create the best possible impression. However, the longer you work in a company or position, you may begin to ignore certain things. The Daily Muse website focuses directly on these failings.
1. Do not make excuses
Dog eyes and excuses may have had an effect on the teachers at school, but do not at work. If you do not have a substantial reason for a mistake or why you are applying for more time, you must finish your tasks on time. Always be aware of your responsibility for the finished work.
2. Do not come late
Some of you (I am not saying everyone) tend to be late to conferences, meetings, training etc. Using the excuse of a traffic jam or other problems that slowed you down, just puts you among the latecomers. And no, it really is not funny. Extra coffee, an earlier bus or a double alarm... Learn to always arrive on time, at all costs
3. Respond immediately
Perhaps you are not 100% sure about your answer or you just do not know the answer, but to leave an email unanswered two days or longer is negligence. Do not ignore your obligations, build respect by always responding quickly.
4. Follow through
As a manager, you are the team's main support. If someone asks you for information or advice, do not send him to someone else because you do not have an answer. Likewise, if someone from the team needs your help, do not make them ask twice. It is embarrassing to others when they have to remind you of your promises. Self-management is important!
