I just read these “10 Workplace Secrets That Make Everyone Want to Work With You.” I wouldn’t call these “secrets,” but I do believe if everyone did more of these things we would all be much happier and more successful… 1. Be the person who makes things happen. Every organization has problems. The people who solve them get promoted. 2. Master calendar psychology. Book meetings for 25 mins instead of 30. People will love you for giving them time back. 3. Adopt the Art of the TL;DR. Put a 1-line summary at the top of longer emails. Your colleagues' time is precious. 4. Make intercompany connections. Introduce people you network with from across departments to unlock new opportunities. 5. If you're a superior, don't send a meeting invite without an agenda (those can be scary). 6. Leave spaces better than you found them. 7. Practice the Silent Service Model: Help others succeed without seeking credit. Your reputation will build naturally. 8. Follow the Plus One Rule: make every process you are a part of at least 1% better. 9. Practice the Gratitude Loop: Notice efforts, express appreciation, be specific, and reciprocate. Strong teams run on recognition. 10. Offer to be an office buddy to the newcomer. If they have any questions or forget people's names, you're their go-to person.
