A coworker you trust doesn’t like someone, and suddenly you start seeing that person through their eyes.
You hear the stories.
You learn the history.
And before you’ve had a negative experience of your own, you’ve picked a side.
This week, challenge yourself to do something different:
Form your own opinions. Build your own relationships.
You can support a coworker without adopting their grudges.
You can listen without joining the gossip.
You can be kind to two people who don’t particularly like each other.
That isn’t disloyalty.
That’s professionalism.
Because organizations change. Relationships change. People change.
And the person someone tells you to avoid today could be the person you need to collaborate with tomorrow.
Go into this week with a clean slate.
Be friendly. Stay neutral. Keep working.
Your career doesn’t need someone else’s baggage.
Happy Monday lovelies.
Until Thursday, remember to lead with strength and live with purpose.
