Bangalore: Finding hard to survive at your workplace between the drama kings and drama queens? These gossiping, passive and aggressive people can stir up trouble anytime. Ignoring them is very hard as they work in your office and can also be a part of your team. For sure there would be at least one in every office. Such people are too much into bullying and creating problems for no reason. They are more into office politics and are very skillful in making things controversial. So here are the steps listed to make your office drama-free. Step 1: Get Out of Your Own Drama
one of the most difficult challenges for aspiring leaders is to "own their stuff";to acknowledge their own responsibility for relationship shortcomings. So, before you can guide others, you must take inventory of both your interaction strengths (i.e., where you uplift relationships) and the ways you sabotage relationships. The strength inventory is usually easy. The sabotage inventory is more difficult. It requires the vulnerability and courage to seek others' candid observations and advice about your behavior. To find out your own drama tendencies, you can use self-reflection, ask your colleagues, or take a drama-assessment. You can only help others when you are curious yourself. Take a deep breath, get re-centered and get out of your own way.
