Rules are a pain because they need enforcing and children expect that they will be enforced exactly the same way for each student.  What I found more helpful was to use the school's Code of Behaviour and to discuss and reinforce it regularly.  Then, any situation that arose could be dealt with from that perspective..\n\nIn one school where I worked, the Code of Behaviour had four points and, sorry, I can only remember three of them - (not necessarily in order):\n- always do your best work,\n- keep your hands and feet to yourself,\n- treat everyone with respect.\n\nThese seemed to cover any situation that arose.  For example, if a student wears t-shirts that have offensive slogans on them, the discussion will be around respect.

1.Read a daily/weekly quote aloud for you and your team members to hear. Something that is inspiring/entertaining/silly/witty that everyone can enjoy. \n\n2.Give gifts, make your co workers feel happy and cared for. You will find that this is really contagious and it will make everything less serious and more family oriented.\n\n3.Plan to watch the same movies for the weekend so that you can have something to talk about on boring Mondays.

just remind them that your all on the same team and that you take your orders from whoever your boss really is or when they give you orders say, sorry but can't, i have to have this done because whoever asked me for it.  sooner or later they will get the picture.

Don't get involved. Period.  You will be better respected by those in charge if you separate yourself from the trouble-makers involved in the politics of the office.

Honesty is the best policy. When promoting people you must be able to trust that they will act with integrity. The main question for management will be, how can you ensure this not occurring if you receive the promotion?

Introduce the new person to everyone where they will be working.  Make sure they know where the bathrooms are, the vending machines, the smoking area, etc., etc.  Then explain, in general terms, just what it is that your department does, who does it, and why they do it.  Don't forget your vision/mission statement and your core values (if any).  Then hand them off to their supervisor, who will likely tell them the way things REALLY work and what their duties will now be.

"keep your thoughts positive...Your thoughts become your words.\n\nKeep your words positive...Your words become your actions.\n\nKeep your actions positive...Your actions become your destiny!"\n\n---Words to live by!\n\n\n\n\n\nBefore the class even starts pull the instructor aside and let then know that you are uncomfortable.  But, this shows you are unwilling to accept change.\n\nHave a positive attitude and TRY.  Some of these role plays are REALLY stupid and boring, but some of them really open up lines of communication with your co-workers that were closed before.  You may learn something new.\n\nNever be closed minded about things.  You should not feel demeaned.  that is not the intent of the role plays.  I have had to do ALOT of them over the years and have to lead a few.  Since you have been at your job for so long, you will be looked upon by your co-workers to set the tone of the room.  If you have a sour attitude, they will also and the role plays are no go for any of you.\n\nBut, if you let go of the hostility and say "Aw, what the hell, I'll give it a try" then others will follow you and you will have created a less tense situation.

Good things to include (besides good spelling of the words 'write', 'minutes', etc.):\n\nInvited attendees, actual Attendees.\n\nThe agenda\nOld business from the prior meeting\nNew business from the new meeting\n\nEach item that was discussed and who said what\n\nFinally summarize with the list of action items (what needs to get done as follow-up, by when and by whom).\n\nAnd if there will be another meeting, note that.\n\nIf you use Microsoft Office, you can say 'New' and choose from templates... type 'Meeting Minutes' and it will give you a sample.  I've given a link below.  That should help immensely and will even make it look professional.

Just be smart about it.\n\nMake a subtle joke like, 'too bad office romances never work'. and laugh.\n\nSee if he says something back.  If he's not interested, he'll just say, 'yeah, too bad', and leave it at that.\n\nJust don't flirt openly in front of colleagues.  And if he's married, leave him alone.

The tone of the office is set by the leader.  If you don't have an ethical leader you can still behave in an ethical manner and maybe people will see that is the fair way to do things and they will follow suit. Then maybe you will find it.

One way suggested by training professionals is to 'sandwich' the "not-so-good news" (negative criticism) with positive remarks and feedback. Give a positive start and finish. The door is then open for further public (group) discussion or a chance of a word with yourself in private. \nIn trying to help your team improve, it is important that the criticism never becomes personal, only helpful. Otherwise, individuals will just give up trying to improve (which they may see as simply 'pleasing you') and become undermining and subversive, which helps nobody. Be fair and be SEEN to be fair.
