Hi Kitosdad,
This is a new essay from me.
I’m waiting for your constructive feedback.
Thanks in advance.
We all work or will work in our jobs with many different kinds of people. In your opinion, what are some important characteristics of a co-worker (someone you work closely with)? Use reasons and specific examples to explain why these characteristics are important.
In my life, I have worked with many kinds of people and found that there are some characteristics which good co-workers have in common and I feel comfortable to work with those people. From my point of view, I think nice peers usually are corporative, act on their own initiative and have a positive attitude toward their works and their colleagues.
Good co-workers usually are cooperative. They will not be hesitant to help others if they have a chance or have enough time. Everyone working with them will feel comfortable and relaxed. Furthermore, they realize that not only their own works can get a project done, but everyone’s task related to that project must be finished as well. Therefore, cooperative co-workers could make the team unique and help the team accomplish a goal faster and help develop warn working environment.
Furthermore, good peers usually act on their own initiative. They will not wait for commands and orders from their bosses like babies waiting for foods, but they can initiate things which the team needs them to do or things beneficial to the team. Furthermore, having this type of people in the team is extremely beneficial because they usually bring creative ideas and new techniques to the team.
Last but not least, good colleagues generally have a positive attitude toward their own works and their friends working with them. As we work on certain projects, we could have encountered some serious problems and could have some hard times. If team mates do not have a positive attitude, look down on other team mates and their own works, the team moral will be getting lower and this benefits nothing. On the other hand, the team with a positive attitude tends to pass those obstacles and could achieve the team’s goal in the end. From my view point, I think this characteristic is one of the most beneficial traits which could help develop other good characteristics. There is no way that good characteristics will be developed in negative-thinking people.
Therefore, good co-workers are willing to help others, act on their own initiative without waiting for orders, and have a positive attitude toward other team mates and their own works. It is unquestionable that everyone would like to work with people with the tree characteristics above. These are not the most important characteristics which good co-workers should have, but these could be considered as vital traits which could lead the team to success on the horizon.
