There are weird people, angry, irritable colleagues, people with a lousy work ethic and poor communication skills, and those that aren\u2019t friendly or have negative attitudes. And there are others we just don\u2019t understand or click with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What can you do? Here are a few tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Don\u2019t try to fake it.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>Whatever you do, don\u2019t try to act like you appreciate someone if you really don\u2019t.&nbsp;Most people have very sensitive radar for when others aren\u2019t being genuine. You risk undermining&nbsp;<em>any<\/em>&nbsp;trust you may have with your colleague if they don\u2019t think what you are saying or doing is authentic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Do some self-reflection.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>Think about some potential reasons why you have a hard time appreciating this colleague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>What about them don\u2019t you like?\u00a0What do they do that irritates you? If your issue with them is more of a personality or lifestyle difference, back up a step and ask, \u201cAre they getting the job done in a satisfactory manner?\u201d If the answer is yes, then you can genuinely express appreciation for them for their work even though you may be irritated by other issues.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do you have realistic expectations of that person, or do you expect more than they are capable of doing? It\u2019s possible you don\u2019t have a good understanding of their job responsibilities.\u00a0Ask about the time required to do the task and\/or what else is currently on their plate to accomplish. You might be able to cut them some slack and view them in a whole new light.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Have you checked into the reason that may be behind why they are not performing their job duties up to standards?&nbsp;They may not have the sufficient materials, equipment or proper training. They may be experiencing a personal problem that may be tapping all of their reserves and may be just getting by. They may have a physical problem such as chronic pain or a new medication that is presenting challenges in the workplace that may not be readily apparent.&nbsp;There may be some accommodations that can be made, such as working remotely or upgrading their equipment that could be the boost they need.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Consider characteristics not directly related to work performance.<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;The core component that leads to appreciation is valuing something about the other person.&nbsp;Sometimes, we can value characteristics that aren\u2019t necessarily productive but are helpful (having a positive, cheerful demeanor; staying calm in stressful situations). Additionally, there are aspects of a person\u2019s life <em>outside of work <\/em>that we may value \u2014 having the self-discipline to train for a half-marathon; being a single parent who is deeply committed to their children.&nbsp;Call attention to these characteristics as a start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Get to know them a little bit better.&nbsp;<\/em><\/strong>Valuing someone is difficult when you don\u2019t really know much about him or her.&nbsp;Often, finding out something about their personal history enables you to understand them more.&nbsp;Getting to know a bit more about their hobbies and life outside of work can lead to some areas of connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, different people are challenging for each of us.&nbsp;(That is, Stephanie might really grate your nerves while she and I get along fine. But Kurt may irritate me by just walking in the room while he creates no struggles for you).&nbsp;So, the issue is really an&nbsp;<em>interaction effect<\/em>&nbsp;rather than the fact that they are a terrible person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though some people are ogres, the reality is that most aren\u2019t.&nbsp;And although you may have a colleague that rubs you the wrong way, resist putting them in the \u201cDon\u2019t Appreciate Them\u201d basket \u2014 where the chances are high that you won\u2019t ever say&nbsp;<em>anything<\/em>&nbsp;positive to them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try the tips above and see if you can\u2019t find&nbsp;<em>something<\/em>&nbsp;you can appreciate them for. (Remember: <strong>you<\/strong> may be the \u201cdifficult to appreciate\u201d colleague for some of your coworkers!)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Let\u2019s be honest, sometimes we have a hard time appreciating some of our colleagues.
