So "Chris" bumped you out of line for the slippy slide? …and there was a scuffle on the jungle gym, too? (Jerk!)
Quota pressure and competitive juices produce mountainous tension in every sales org.
In those instances when tension between you and another is high, keep the following in mind:
1. You have more in common with Chris than not.
2. Address the issue with Chris when it's the right time. (Life is too short.)
3. Do not poison the well and denigrate Chris; gossip doesn't become you.
4. Focus on your work and park Chris in the back of your brain. (Until you make up!)
Do
Today, decide how you will deal with the "Chris situation." And then do it.
If the Chris sitch has been stewing, go clip an olive branch and then shove it in his face that dirty bastahd….jk.
Seriously….extend the olive branch to Chris and clear it up.
Or, if something is starting to brew between you and Chris, try heading it off at the pass. Do that olive branch thing. (The nice version.)
Be the bigger person and address it with the honesty and grace that flows deep inside you. Look at it as training for dealing with a client who might also be named "Chris"!
Oomph
Throw a rock in the air, and you'll hit a so-called expert eager to tell you how to do a job, but there's a dearth of sources that focus you on enjoying your job.
In this very worthwhile and funny 11-minute Ted Talk, you'll learn how humor can be used to enjoy your work and spread joy with those you work with.
You'll agree this Andrew Tarvin dude is fun-ee; maybe he'll inspire you to drop the sword a bit and try humor to break the ice with that person on your team who you can't stand.
(Ya can't stand "Chris"….ain't that a bit harsh?)
