| 1 |
Bite your tongue before you gossip; your tongue may hurt, but your colleagues and reputation won't. |
| 2 |
Open communication creates a positive,
productive work environment; lunch room gossip and rumors take it away. |
| 3 |
Promote people's well-being and watch your workplace transform for the best. |
| 4 |
Use your mouth and feet to stamp out
gossip. Change the subject or just walk away if someone gossips...hey, isn't that
mycell phone ringing? |
| 5 |
Never say derogatory things about yourself; people might agree with you. |
| 6 |
Humor is great but not at the expense of
others; joking around usually comes around. |
| 7 |
Give others the benefit of the doubt and
they'll probably do the same for you. |
| 8 |
E-mails, letters and pictures can come
back to haunt you; communicating gossip through writing, verbal hints or
body language is just as bad as saying it. |
| 9 |
Never take a gossip's word as fact; there
are always two or more sides to a story so check the facts for yourself. |
| 10 |
A positive attitude is contagious; your
colleagues and bosses respect a kind, respectful person and run from the
opposite. |
