Importance of productive working atmosphere
Here is a list of Do's and Don’ts which I have learned during this experience.
Do's
1. Every team member should give 100%.
(I was not able to give much time as I was doing a part-time job, but I worked hard to complete my tasks on time.)
2. Always keep in mind that we have to meet the deadline, in this way we will be focused.
3. Check the status of the work on daily basis. If daily milestones are not met, spend some extra time and complete the task.
4. Respect each member's idea.
(I am so focused on my own idea that I tend to ignore other's ideas. Henceforth, I will listen to others ideas and try to give feedback on his/her ideas)
5. Ask your team mate to review your work and give feedback.
(I have this sense of perfectness and feel that whatever I do is perfect. But since I am also a human I tend to make mistakes. Henceforth, I will ask my team mate to review my work. In this way I get feedback and also the end-product is error-free.)
1. Don't digress. There is lot of time for frivolous jokes, flirting, puzzles etc. after the job is done. A joke once in a while is fine but a person with an all-time jovial mood can be a project spoiler.
(I like solving puzzles, and often discuss with my colleagues. Henceforth, I will try not to discuss puzzles when I am a part of a team when there is a deadline to be met.)
2. Don't spoil the working atmosphere. You may be interested in listening songs, watching friends on ur laptop (Some even watch porn, so disgusting n cheap, don't they have self-respect), playing games on your laptop, or going out for a snack or a walk when the other team members are busy doing serious work. Firstly, if you are a serious worker, you won’t think of anything other than work and even if you want to take a break, move out silently without disturbing others.
(Sometimes, I feel like listening to a song. Henceforth, even if I feel like listening to a song, I will try to focus on my work and if I strongly feel like listening to a song, I will use earplugs to listen songs. In this way I won't disturb others.)
3. Don't shout or scream at your team member.
(Sometimes I am so pissed off when a team member is not focusing, I feel like shouting and screaming at him/her. Henceforth, I will try to control my temper. I have learned a better way to convey the message to the team member who is not concentrating. I ask his/her views about the point being discussed, in this way the team member himself feels guilty that he was not participating, and will try to avoid this in future.
Hey folks! That’s it; I hope my team mates too read this, coz this post is for them too. And I hope to be a better team member in my next assignment.
