WHAT I'VE LEARNED SO FAR...

I was so caught up with work and check-ups and a lot of other things that I've been putting off blogging for quite some time now. Many weeks have passed and I've been in the Project for Knowledge Management for 5 months now. My first Project Manager has left for a better offer in a different firm. Try as we might, we couldn't persuade him to stay. What a loss to us and to the company...

So, during these five months I've been working with new people in a new culture... what have I learned so far?

1. Be nice to everyone that you work with - practise equality as it can take you a long way professionally and personally.
2. People do eat people in any line of work, but you don't have to be that person to climb up the corporate ladder. You will be eaten by other people if you practise this.
3. Office politics exits everywhere you go. But you don't have to get involved in any of it to stay ahead. Just be true to yourself and don't step on other people's toes.
4. If you want to stay ahead in the game, READ... do a lot of reseach on your area of work and be a pro.
5. Don't be a pain in the ass by assigning un-necessary things to your team members.
6. Work smart and play hard.
7. Get connected with your colleagues and team members to get them produced the best results.
8. Respect other people's opinions, you may not be right all the time.
9. When you made a big blunder, don't linger around it too long. Move on!
10. Share whatever little knowledge you have about anything.

The list can go on forever, but those are the things that I learned throughout my professional life.
