Getting 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, it is vital that you get along with these people as best you can - especially if the project will be lasting for a while and you will be stuck with these people every day. Even though you might not care for everyone on the team, you can still get along with them (even the worst of them!) by following these tips.

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. If you are on a team with a "know it all" who (naturally!) tends to be wrong most of the time, this can be especially difficult, but it is still important. 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.

Picking your battles also extends beyond letting people know when they are wrong, as you will likely encounter conflicts and frustrations with the way some of the others work. In the end, it is better - for you, and for the project - that you only assert your strong opinions when it is necessary. Especially when you are around the same people every day, it can be difficult to be "the bigger man," but this will pay off in the long run.

Being the "bigger man" also extends to those times when someone else on your project team tries to take credit for work they did not actually do. In the end, your superiors are likely to recognize who has truly done the best work; after all, if you have noticed, they will notice as well!

Being on a project team often comes to be about more than just completing the project well; it also comes to be about surviving to the end! When you follow these tips, you will be able to survive and even thrive to the end of the project.
