‘Seeds for Growth’ Humility
Humility is a quality that needs to be well-balanced for success. If we think too much of ourselves, we won’t accept guidance. If we think too little of ourselves, we won’t trust ourselves, and others won’t trust us. Both extremes can lead to mistakes. On the other hand, when we get it right, humility fosters growth and continued learning. We value each other because we believe that we are neither less nor more important than others. When we are humble, we admit that we aren’t always right. We know we have more to learn, and rather than beating ourselves up when we are less than perfect, we embrace the opportunity to learn from our mistakes.
Work from Home Tip No. 16 Overcommunicate with those in other time zones.
With collaborators all over the United States, you may find prolonged response times considering different time zones. To avoid losing time between exchanges with fellow collaborators, be as detailed as possible in your messages and meetings, specify project deadlines, link resources, supplement your messages, and let team members know when you will be away or in a different time zone. Getting used to asynchronous communication will help you avoid losing time on projects and ensure your team has everything they need to move forward.
