Your coworkers do not want to be around a proud person who cannot recognize when they mess up. Thus underscoring the same attitude is giving credit to whom it is due for their contributions. You do not want to be known for taking the ideas of other people or not recognizing those who got you where you are, no one will be helping you on the next project if you start with that attitude. These two behaviors will assist in showing Julia’s new coworkers that she is a trusted person. The beginning of any relationship begins with trust so creating this as a broad foundation will gain favor with her coworkers. Further, humility shows Julia is teachable and wants to work with them and make them successful.

Do what they say and do it quickly. Do not ask questions, do not smart off, and do not do anything to jeopardize your own self in regards to the situation. It is important to complete the job task and complete it well the first time. Show the person you respect them. Get it done, and get it down the right way, the first time. This is how you show respect. This is how you earn respect.

In my undergraduate work, almost all of my classes that were directly related to my major required at the least one group project. In the beginning this was not something I was very fond of mostly because I had some bad experiences when it came to working with others on projects. Usually it was the problem of people not pulling their own weight, and doing their parts to help with the tasks.

However, after I thought about it, I did want to be that guy because in the real world on a work project if there was someone who did not pull their weight in the job projects would not be successful. So, when it came time for grades, I was always honest, and usually if a person did not do their part I told it how it was.
Erica Higgins started her presentation with a quote from Arnold H. Glasow, which was, “A good leader takes a little more than his share of the blame, a little less than his share of the credit.” This quote immediately set the tone for the entire presentation.

However, who is really responsible for executing these ideas? It is those below you, who are working under your beliefs. But how do you get your subordinates to work under your guidelines? To answer this question, Erica used the Vice Chairman of Wealth Management at Morgan Stanley, Carla Harris’s advise. Be authentic and train people’s
