Handshakes

The “Macho Cowboy”- Bone-Crunching clasp. No need to demonstrate your physical strength

The “Wimp”- Is usually delivered by men who are afraid to “hurt a little lady”

The “Dead Fish”- Conveys no power

The “Cold and Clammy”- Feels like you are shaking hands with a snake

The “Sweaty Palm”- Is self-explanatory and pretty gross

DEBUGGING THE SYSTEM

A

A co-worker takes credit for your work

People are out to get me. They take advantage of me and my talent.

Wow. It must have been really good for them to put their name on it.

This keeps happening to me! No matter what, I can't seem to get ahead.

C

Guard your work, get defensive toward co-workers. May not share your best ideas or do your best work.

Feel defeated, used, out of control. Sabatage yourself, not do your best, or fail to share your best ideas. Give up.

Feel confident about your work. address it with your boss or co-worker. Continue to perform well, and find ways to get credit.

SICK

How sick are you?

Before you call in sick, consider the following:

Do you have sick benefits?

Do you need to see a doctor in order to get better?

Are you contagious?

If you went to work, would you be unproductive due to the illness?

Can you take over the counter or prescription medication that will make you feel better?

If you do not have sick benefits, can you afford to miss a day's pay?

Are there any consequences that might result from taking a sick day?
