First and foremost, you should ensure that you are polite and respectful to all of your colleagues, regardless of whether they are a senior manager or a photocopy attendant. Even if the person next to you is constantly annoying you, avoid the urge to snap or shout, and maintain a cool head under pressure. This will demonstrate to your bosses that you are good management material.
Good time-keeping is essential in a business, and turning up to work on time is a must. Coming in 5 or 10 minutes early or even staying late occasionally can show that you are committed. It will also relieve some of your stress as you are not trying to complete so much work in a short space of time.
Your body language speaks volumes about the sort of person you are and how you will fit into a work organisation. No matter how polite and well mannered you are this will make little difference if your body language does not communicate the same. Hunching at your desk will appear anti-social, so try sitting straight with an agreeable expression on your face. Also, if you are talking to someone and are constantly fidgeting you will reflect disinterest in the speaker and therefore rudeness in an official environment. Demonstrate you interest in what they have to say by maintaining eye contact and nodding appropriately. This may open communication channels with work colleagues and improve your office environment.
Sticking to these really easy rules can do wonders for your success rate in work. Bear them in mind at the office today and you could soon see advances in your career.
