This article talks about how to survive in and maintain a good career and create allies in your workspace. It goes on to talk about how we should not attack people's weaknesses, but find the strength that is hidden inside their apparently negative characteristics. It talks about two problems: The Performance Problem and the Perspective Problem. Here are three of the nine ways I believed to be most helpful witch these problems.

STrATeGY #1: Awareness

We need to know what is wrong with our employees so that we will know what is right with them. Weaknesses are important clues to strengths. If we are aware then we become less likely to make a mistake. I believe that not having any distractions around yourself helps you focus more easily and accomplish your work. Having awareness helps us make positive influential decisions because we are aware and knowledgeable of the situations we find ourselves in.

STrATeGY #2: Appreciation

We need acknowledge that there is nothing wrong with our employees. What appear to be weak- nesses are actually strengths in disguise. We all must appreciate the people we work with. Yes, every once and awhile your co-workers will get on your nerves but we have to tough it out. No matter where you work each person brings a certain unique way of their own to help and accomplish the main goal of what everyone is working towards. If we appreciate even the tiniest things it will make your job and everyone else's' job go much faster and smoother.

STrATeGY #4: Adaptation

We need to help employees freak out instead of trying to force them to fit in. Eventually everyone will adapt to their job. it is their new lifestyle at least for the time being. If we as co-workers or managers help out the newbs then work becomes fun. When everybody is adapted to the same work environment and know the same things there is no room for selfishness and argument. Adaptation is a key way to making a job run smoothly. Why not help out new employees at least to keep everyone comfortable.


MY VIeWs On THe CrEATiVE PrOCeSS:


During the creative process I found that my strengths where in the design and the creation of mine and my group's projects. Designing was definitely a fun job and I discovered I really had a passion for it. I was strong in that I could make the projects look visually appealing and somewhat interactive for the audience. My weaknesses in the creative process is the pre production brainstorming and idea making. I am not very creative when i brainstorm and end up going off similar things I have seen in the past. What I realized is that if some comes up with the idea and writes the script I can take it and make it come to life and and make it shine.
