There are those who attract the sympathy of their colleagues, who progress without crushing others and know how to navigate professional relationships. And then there are those who stagnate, accumulate tensions, and struggle to find a place. In this codified universe that is the world of work, certain misconduct, even involuntary, may be enough to tarnish a reputation or block an evolution. Amélie Boukhobza, clinical psychologist, delivers attitudes to ban to work more serene, efficient and respectful.
Company intelligence goes through behavior
Whether it is self -confidence, conflict management or team spirit, behaving well at the office is a form of social intelligence as much as a lever for success. As Amélie Boukhobza recalls: “Intelligence is not limited to an intellectual quotient; It also manifests itself in the way we behave at work. In general, intelligent people adopt attitudes that promote a healthy and productive working climate“.
These attitudes are not innate. You can feel frustrated or judged within a team. But by getting rid of certain reflexes, you can quickly change the situation.
