How To Get Along With Others On Your Project Team

Nothing can be worse than being on a project team at work and finding that you do not get along with the other people on your team. 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. In fact, you can follow these tips to get along with even the worst of them - without actually liking them at all!

First and foremost, you need to recognize that it is not always necessary or important for you to prove that you are right. Even though this can be difficult if you find yourself on a team with an insufferable "know it all" who is nevertheless usually wrong, it is still important to adhere to this principle. Oftentimes, the majority of the members on a project team will be absolutely wrong about something, but this "something" will be something that has no real bearing on the project; you will begin to notice this as you realize that you do not always have to prove you are right. In essence, this will lead you to start picking your battles, learning to only correct the rest of your team at those times when it is necessary.

You will likely encounter conflicts and frustrations with the way some of the others on your team work, and picking your battles extends to these situations also. 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.

If others on your project team try to take credit for work that they did not actually do, being the "bigger man" extends to this as well. In the end, your superiors will come to be aware of who did all the work, and they will also come to be aware of who did little or nothing.

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 do more than just survive to the end of the project; you will also be able to thrive!
