Here at Career Girl Network, we scour the internet looking for the best advice to pass along to you. I recently found the Australian website Leading Company, dedicated to leaders who are changing the game. And on this Monday morning, I bring you one of their best pieces of advice, one we should all take to heart – “Power Play: Always Say Good Morning.” In it, entrepreneur Rose Herceg says,
Power Players always say good morning. The work can wait for five minutes to allow for a “Good morning, how are you?” Power Players say it at every opportunity. In the elevator to strangers or at the café when ordering a double espresso.
Whether it’s Monday morning or Friday afternoon, take the time to say hello to your colleagues at work. Your smile and nod and a quick “How are you?” will go a long way to creating camaraderie at work.
