Responsibility and Accountability at Workplace
The First Day
On the first day of your job you are told by your reporting manager of your duties and responsibilities. You take the first few hours understanding your role in the organisation and whether or not it is in line with the job description you had read. Very soon would follow your line manager’s instructions to ensure that the assigned work is delivered when due, hinting that the organisation discourages delays. This, in no particular order, sums up the first few hours of your first day at a new job.
Accepting Criticism Like A Champion
Feedback is necessary, more so when you are working on an all-important project at work. When you work hard on a great project, you expect a pat on the back by your boss. It could also happen that the great project didn’t turn out the way your boss wanted and instead of bouquets and claps you stand at the receiving end of brickbats or severe criticism. When that happens, you tend to abandon all hope and find it difficult to cope up with the situation. The first step, then, invariably, is to be defensive, then to offer your point of view, some clarification to go with it or completely lash out at the person.
