Jennifer A. Bunk , a professor in Westchester University and a member of the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology says
rude behavior affects one’s creativity and creates conflicts in workpace. It is important to commence the day with a positive attitude.While
good behavior nurtures good relationship, reduces stress and boosts the morale of self and others, a
rude behavior germinates tension and hostility in a workplace.
Your Good Behaviour | Your Rude Behaviour |
Helps you work in a team | Difficult to be a team player |
Enjoy your work | Cannot enjoy work as you are under stress |
Makes your co-workers cheerful | Co-workers distance themselves from you |
Less stress, more co-operation from colleagues | Less co-operation from colleagues |
Smooth flow of work ensured | Affects smooth work environment |
Attitude:When I was working in a corporate sector, we had the freedom to work, listening to pleasant music. We even had a centralized radio system which mildly played good Bollywood songs and western melodies.
Management focused on end results and created a cheerful environment.One’s disposition, feelings and emotions are directly proportionate to one’s ability to work harmoniously, to being creative and in making concrete decisions. It is therefore
imperative that you enter with a positive, vibrant attitude every day. To ensure this, attitude at home is equally important.If one has a quarrel or argument at home with the spouse or parent or children, it is sure to ruin the day. I write this as I have witnessed one of our colleagues having rough weather at home that he was in a dilemma whether to divorce his spouse and keep children with him or send them all away. Carrying your emotions to the workplace may even affect your job. Men, I have found, resort to extensive smoking or drinking.
Maintain your equilibrium:Every human being will, at some point of time, reach the zenith point when it comes to tolerance level. When you find a subordinate repeatedly committing mistakes which may cost a precious deal or when your spouse refuses to understand you or when your children are disobedient, it may sound easy for an outsider to advise but it is hard to stand in the shoes of the sufferer. Get away from the turbulent atmosphere for a while at least. Take deep breaths. If you can engage in meditation. I personally chant mantras within which deviates and pacifies me. If you have to take action against an erring subordinate, just think that you are doing it for the benefit of many others and the Organization. This will help you maintain your emotional balance.Feel the fresh air and enjoy solitude. Your turbulent emotions will subside and enable you to think what is wiser for you and others.
Relationship:At home, think what went wrong and where. If you can, sit with the person who hurt you or who was hurt by your rudeness towards them. Speak out. Many a time, open conversation settles everything. Remember, you have to get on for a longer time in future with your colleagues and settling scores will help you work smoothly from then on. At home, the relationship is important all your life time.BE cool,HAVE a cool approach and remember it is OUR life and therefore our BEHAVIOUR plays a vital role in our lives.
