If you want to make a good showing in your firm, the most important thing is to understand the principles of teamwork. Not all projects require teams, of course, but every project you do will involve others—whether before you or after you. Take these three tips to improve your teamwork skills:
- Keep up communication about the status of the project
- Update others on Expected Completion Dates
- Be honest about any problems or delays that pop up
- Give realistic deadlines
Many workers feel overwhelmed by their projects, and for good reason. Many supervisors overload their employees. But bosses don’t know what is going on unless you tell them. If you are handed a new piece of work when you are already underwater with the ones you have, simply accept it but give your boss a realistic Expected Completion Date. If he balks, you will have to let him know what else is on your plate.
The most important thing, in teamwork, is to be honest about your expectations of others and of what you are able to achieve. It is more productive to admit your shortcomings than to pretend to be superman and fall down on the job.
