When considering the qualities I believe to be necessary for succeeding as a designer in the College of Education’s Learning Resources Center, I am reminded of Robert Fulghum’s book titled, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. Attributes I learned early on have stood me well over the years as a professional designer. Listen Carefully Misinformation can create issues with a project, affecting budget and design, so I listen carefully and ask questions. I take detailed notes; though, they may appear to be hieroglyphics to anyone peeking over my shoulder. Work Well with Others Good professional collaborations and positive relationships are important. I believe it is critical to get along with co-workers as well as with internal
To be successful it is necessary to work with other people, to coordinate and have a harmony with them.

Our beliefs, time, money, and actions are all being fought over with design as the arsenal. The graphic designer learns how to participate in this fight through education, intuition, creativity, and technical skills. Though helpful, a formal education in design is not what is meant here. The education needed is more about understanding the previously mentioned rules we are working with. Intuition is required in order to know when it is appropriate to adjust or disregard these rules. Creativity is needed because redundancy will not break through the wall into the internal world. Technical skills are essential because poor craft reduces credibility. This idea of the world as an arena is a reoccurring theme in The Cheese Monkeys, and the importance of education, intuition, creativity, and technical skills have been further reinforced to us through the grading process and classroom discussions in Graphic Design
I have reinforced this standard of working relationship many times in my career and I am confident that my values, personal drive, and skills prepare me well for the work I have undertaken. Importantly I possess the ability to build strong business partnerships and working relationships, which is the key to ensuring the right outcomes. This is shown by my relationships that I have maintained with Guidance Officers, Teachers and Head of Departments. I have worked in teams who had been confronted with periods of organizational change and am proud of the outcomes achieved. I have demonstrated my ability to work as an effective team member by completing the tasks required of me within the policies and procedures provided. I have the natural ability to draw alongside others in my team, accept, embrace colleagues regardless of background, ability level, or position of chain of command, and as such have made many beneficial relationships within my current
After working in this position for a while working in groups and introducing new group members is a key ingredient in building teams and relationships. In groups and teams, relationships are the feelings, roles, norms, statuses, and trust that both affect. They reflect the quality of communication between a person and others. The variables that have an important effect on relationships are made with others in small groups. These are the roles a person assumes, the norms or standards, the group develops, the status differences that affect the group's productivity, the power some members have, the trust that improves
Open, frequent and timely communication is important in any work environment. For a work group to reach its full potential, colleagues must be able to say what they think, ask for help, take risks, share new or unpopular ideas and risk making mistakes. This can only happen in an atmosphere where all staff show concern, trust one another, focus on situations and not problems. Communication that is friendly open and positive plays a vital role in creating such an environment. Friendly communications are more likely to occur when individuals know and respect one another. Colleagues can show they care about one another by asking about each other’s lives outside of work, respecting individual differences, joking and generally making everyone feel
Kindergarten is a fun time for most students. Although it is mostly fun, much can be learned during this year of youngsters life. In the Robert Fulghum’s book, All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten he list some simple lessons that everyone should follow. He says to put things back where you found them, work and play some every day and hold hands and stick together. The world would be a better place if we could follow these rules.
Good communication such as team building, team cohesion, praise and empathy form a good working relationship as people can be more engaging and are more likely to pay attention, resulting in accurate passing/receiving of information and a full understanding of the tasks required.
You also have to protect the company’s identity and the self-esteem of its people. Those two goals – making change and safeguarding identity – can easily come into conflict; pursuing them both entails a difficult and sometimes precarious balancing act.” Also, emotional bonds get created throughout the cross functional teams because they are no longer dealing with employees from just their departments. You learn from and about employees from all different levels and statuses.
“All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten” is a book written by Robert Fulgham. I do agree with this book’s “rules”. I simply think that they would work in the real world. If we all tried I’m sure we could make the world a better world. It would take time but the payoff would be amazing.
Another very importance aspect is the working environment at the office…it should be a relaxed and informal place where employee, team member should have the time to think and explore new ideas. Mutual trust and respect where disagreement is based on issue rather than personalities in this case conflict become productive to generate new ideas instead of causing problems.
I want to have a good work relationship with my immediate supervisor and co-workers. I have worked for companies in the past where my supervisor and /or coworkers were not so friendly. I think that is important to have a good relationship with those that you work with. With that being said, you also want them to understand life's hiccups happen when you least expect them to. With a good relationship with those you work with, they should also have an understanding that things really do happen even when you don't want them to.
