Being A Helper

Few things are as rewarding as being a helper. Here's a short list of things you can do to improve the workplace experience for the people around you:

• Share what you’ve learned.

• Set goals with your teammates. 

• Be someone’s accountabilibuddy. 

• Take the time to listen and connect.  

• Share your wins with your team (default to "we" not "me").

• Recognize people for their contribution (no generic “You’re crushing it!” shoutouts. Be thoughtful and specific).

• Recommend someone for a promotion (but only if they truly deserve it).

• Offer to help with something that's not your responsibility (but only if you can follow through).

• Push the people around you to be as great as you know they can be. 

Cheat sheet: If you want to be a better coworker and aren’t sure where to start, do the things you wish your coworkers would do for you.
