It’s very easy to take the wrong path. All you have to do is to play politics by interrupting in the meetings and continuously talking about your personal experiences. Due to such behaviour some people become unpopular.
Employers can make out this quality during interviews. Ways to detect such a person is through his body language and the ways he responds to questions.
How to Spot them
Appearance: The way you dress yourselves, your expressions, body language etc detects what kind of person you are. Un-ironed clothes, uncombed hairs, dusty shoes leave a bad impression.
Attitude: You have to be caring towards your team. If you don’t care for your team members, it determines danger to the company's goal.
Superiority complex: This majorly happens between a senior and junior. When a senior constantly picks on a junior, in his bad time. A new employee finds it difficult to handle such situation. Courage comes along with time and experience.
Gossip: A person who gossips with you, will surely gossip about you with another person too. So just maintain a distance from such people, he can hit your back anytime.
Selfish: A selfish person never cares about the team members. He/she is always concerned about his welfare and is always ready to create difficulties in others work.
Non-participating: Some people have non participating attitude for any activity whether it be planning an office party or taking part in an event.
Tips on how to become popular
Being on time: Time is an important factor. A person, who comes late, shows that he does not take his work seriously nor does he respect others time.
Give respect to all: Respect everyone in the organization from managers to peons. Always be friendly and polite to them.
Feedback: If a junior makes any mistake, do not scold him/her in front of everyone. Take them aside in a different room and then talk to him/her politely. Be careful it should not hurt his/her ego or self-respect.
Interaction and fun: Do not order people but tell them to follow. Don't just go on giving ideas, but listen to others also and take the decisions. Every person does not enjoy being the subject for making fun especially at work place.
