How to Get Credibility at the Workplace
The dynamics of the workplace can play a significant role in how the employees of a small business interact with one another. If trust and credibility erodes (падает доверие, подрывается авторитет), relationships become strained (напряженные) and productivity ebbs (продуктивность уменьшается). According to a 2009 article published by “U.S. News,” credibility is an intangible capital (нематериальный капитал) that a business and its employees need to have to operate smoothly. People don’t like following leaders they don’t trust. It’s natural to lose credibility over time if you’ve made a few poor decisions or when your leadership is challenged. You can restore credibility (восстановить авторитет) by taking proactive steps in your personal leadership style.
Refuse to take a “wait and see” attitude about projects and work tasks. Take a proactive stance by asking questions — don’t assume you already know the answers. Question intelligently during meetings. Don’t be afraid to look foolish if a point isn’t clear to you. Probe deeper (узнайте больше, копните глубже) with thorough questioning.
