Abstract

It’s straightforward to work with responsible colleagues: people who want to work hard, get things done, make the right things happen at the right time, and who work productively toward their goals in tandem with you and with their other colleagues. These co-workers may from time to time lack the diary space or the inclination to consult with you as fully as you would like, or to be available to you when you seek their input, and they may not always listen to your views or involve you in their decision-making and problem-solving processes when you want them to. But they are otherwise uncomplicated co-workers to have, people who understand the value of hard work, want to build effective workplace relationships, and enjoy the rewards that rightly come to them for their responsible and committed approach. Many of your colleagues are likely to handle their working lives and responsibilities along these lines.
