A successful workplace relationship is not only about attracting people, it's also about fostering and maintaining strong relationships. Many people believe that a good relationship must be based on physical attraction. Yet a powerful relationship cannot be built or maintained without mutual respect and trust.
Unfortunately, in many work places, the opposite holds true. Relationship building is difficult because the people are not willing to put forth the effort to build an effective working relationship.
Instead of realizing the importance of developing effective relationships, many business owners continue to use workplace relationships as a method to build their personal brand. This process is known as "creative branding."
You might think that if people work together well, they will be loyal to you. That may be true, but they will also be loyal to the opportunity they see you are presenting to them.
Your employer has made several inquiries regarding your abilities, your performance, and you have been offered numerous times to continue working for them after your contract is up. Each time, they offer you more money, and then suddenly they ask you to leave. What are you going to do?
Most people work harder to attain a higher level of pay, and yet they are offered less money and become disgruntled with the company they work for. This behavior is nothing but a tactic to get you to leave. Don't allow yourself to become so frustrated that you quit your job.
Developing outstanding work is not dependent on getting high paying offers from clients, or offering your company's services in exchange for more money. When the other person has a chance to talk to your boss, they'll find out what the problem is.
Think about it. You have to be able to impress your boss if you want to make more money in the future. You should never be considered as a sales person when you get a raise or promotion.
You should be focused on gaining respect and being able to handle difficult situations instead of thinking about how you got that raise or promotion in the first place. If your employer discovers that you weren't trying to impress them, they will understand that your employer is losing faith in you. They may even hire someone else.
Once you know that your employer is concerned about your work performance, do not give them bad news. You need to keep your emotions in check. Be professional, but don't show your boss that you are really upset or disappointed.
The goal is to build a strong, consistent, lasting, and unique personal brand. You need to be confident and have a positive outlook on your work life, your future, and your ability to get the raise you deserve.
Here is another tip: manage stress during the busiest times of the week. This means that you need to get out of the office when it's slow. You should also avoid flying when it's raining because your boss will notice that you haven't been working.
