Character Work Ethics

Character

Character develops over time. Many think that much of a person's character is formed early in life. However, we do not know exactly how much or how early character develops. But, it is safe to claim that character does not change quickly. A person's observable behavior is an indication of her character. 

This behavior can be strong or weak, good or bad. A person with strong character shows drive, energy, determination, self-discipline, willpower, and nerve. She sees what she wants and goes after it. She attracts followers. On the other hand, a person with weak character shows none of these traits. She does not know what she wants. Her traits are disorganized, she vacillates and is inconsistent. She will attract no followers.

A strong person can be good or bad. A gang leader is an example of a strong person with a bad character, while an outstanding community leader is one with both strong and good characteristics. An organization needs leaders with both strong and good characteristics, people who will guide them to the future and show that they can be trusted.

The ways I can improve my Character are by practicing my self-discipline, willpower,and getting my nerves under control.

Respect Work Ethics

On a practical level respect includes taking someones feelings, needs, thoughts, ideas, wishes and preferences into consideration. It means taking all of these seriously and giving them worth and value. In fact, giving someone respect seems similar to valuing them and their thoughts, feelings, etc. It also includes acknowledging them, listening to them, being truthful with them, and accepting their individuality and idiosyncrasies.

Respect can be shown through behavior and it can also be felt. We can act in ways which are considered respectful, yet we can also feel respect for someone and feel respected by someone. Because it is possible to act in ways that do not reflect how we really feel, the feeling of respect is more important than the behavior without the feeling. When the feeling is there, the behavior will naturally follow.

Respecting someone means respecting their feelings and their survival needs. Here are ways to show respect for someones feelings:

• asking them how they feel
• validating their feelings
• empathizing with them
• seeking understanding of their feelings
• taking their feelings into consideration

 

There are several ways I can work on showing and earning Respect, I can practice asking anyone I am talking to how they feel and by empathizing with them, also by trying to be understanding of their feelings.

Work Ethics Teamwork

TEAMWORK





Teamwork is commonly thought of as working as a group or team towards a common goal.  This concept is not unusual.  We see it in many facets of our lives from sports to family to business. Although in a business setting, accounting techniques are often used to measure the benefits of teamwork which are useful for justifying the concept.

To foster teamwork in an organization is to create a work culture that values collaboration by sharing ideas and working together. In an environment that encourages teamwork, people understand and believe that the thinking  and planning of decisions and actions are better when done as a group rather than as individuals. People in this environment recognize the idea that many working together is greater than only one.




Here is a cute video on Teamwork.  Hope you enjoy!

Workplaces that exemplify teamwork is more difficult to find than you might think. Most institutions in the United States, such as schools, family structures and our pastimes emphasize winning, being the best, and coming out on top. Workers are rarely raised in environments that emphasize true teamwork and collaboration.

Many organizations have begun the shift to placing a higher value on diverse people, ideas, backgrounds, and experiences, but we have a long way to go before valuing teams and teamwork will be the expected norm.  Creating a teamwork culture can still be done by doing just a few things right. Although it may not be an easy adjustment, an overall sense of teamwork can create a new level of commitment and appreciation for the value you can create in your organization.

The best advice I would give a novice when it comes to working in teams is that I would put aside all problems etc. that I might have or have had with the team members and complete the job to the best of your ability.  The way I would try to improve myself in the teamwork ethics would be to be more aggressive and take charge of situations instead of being laid back and shy.
