How To Get Along With Others On Your Project Team

If you are on a project team at work, nothing can be worse than finding that you do not get along with the others. Of course - if the project will be going on for a while, and you will be stuck with these people every day - it is vital that you find a way to get along with them! Even though you may not like everyone on the team, you can follow these tips to get along with even the worst of them!

One of the first things you need to make sure you recognize is that it is not always necessary for you to prove that you are right. This can be especially difficult if you are on a team with a "know-it-all" who tends to frequently be wrong, but it is important to keep in mind nonetheless. As you begin to realize that it is not always necessary to prove you are right, you will also begin to realize that there will be a lot of times during a project when the team is wrong about something that actually has no bearing on the project. In this way, you need to learn to correct the rest of your team only when it is absolutely necessary - in essence, picking your battles.

You will likely encounter conflicts and frustrations with the way some of the others on your team work, and picking your battles extends to these situations also. In the end, it is better for both yourself and the project that you only assert your strong opinions about something when it is necessary to do so. It will pay off in the long run to always be "the bigger man" - as difficult as this can be when you are around these same people every day!

Being the "bigger man" also entails allowing others to take credit for work they did not do if they choose to try and mislead your superiors. In the end, your superiors will come to realize who did the work and who did nothing!

Being on a project team is supposed to be all about completing the project well, but it often turns out to also be about surviving to the end! When you follow these tips, you will be able to do more than just survive to the end of the project; you will also be able to thrive!
