Authority in any team is very important, regardless of whether it is a worker or a friendly one. But to conquer it is not so easy, for this you need to take into account several important points and not forget about them for a second.
Instructions
Step 1
Remember that first you work for the authority, and then the authority works for you. So tune in and be ready to work hard for a while. Even if it seems to you that a good position in the team does not shine for you, do not try to give up - at any moment everything can change.
Step 2
Work on your authority from the first second of getting into the team. The rule of first impression has not yet been canceled. When meeting, be affable, friendly, clearly state your name and find out the names of the people around you. Try to memorize them by repeating each person's name aloud after they introduce themselves.
Step 3
Do not be silent. Of course, you can show yourself in all its glory both at the second meeting and at the third, but it would be more expedient to immediately declare yourself with a few weighty and interesting phrases.
Step 4
To make it easier to get along with people, throwing away embarrassment, arrange an informal meeting. If you're at work, offer to stay after work and have tea. If this is a new group of friends, invite them to your place, offer to have a picnic outside the city or go to a new exhibition. Do not be afraid to be the first to meet the team, they will appreciate it.
Step 5
Treat all members of the company with respect. If you do not like someone, it is better to keep quiet, of course, if the person does not go over the moral norms of behavior. In this case, by trying to put him back in place, you can also add points to your authority. The main thing is that any actions must be delicate and balanced.
Step 6
While you are not yet in the company, they will look closely at you and, on occasion, test your strength. Be prepared for this, do not get angry and do not give judgments. Accept any manifestation with humor, even if it is a fun act of dedication.
Step 7
Always be responsible for your words, if you promise - follow through. Don't be fooled, this is forgiven only to children. Having undermined trust once, in an adult team, it will not be easy for you to return it to its previous position. Consider each of your actions and be honest with yourself and others. If you can't do it, then don't jump over your head.
Step 8
The presence of intelligence and a developed sense of humor in any team is appreciated and encouraged, so do not forget to train both of these qualities on an equal footing. The ability to be serious and make a good joke, including on yourself, is not an ideal combination in character. You will be perceived as a whole person, and not as a strict pedant or an eternal merry fellow.
Step 9
Be natural. This is perhaps the most important thing. If you do not have great acting skills, it is better not to try to play, pretending to be someone who you are not. Authority is always built on the true character of its owner. Therefore, if you do not quite correspond to the position that you can take in the team, first work on yourself, and then the gained authority will become your reflection.
