How to play your part
The workplace should be a place of harmony, but all too often it is not. Deciding how you play your part is a vital skill for survival.
You will need to work with different kinds of people, make decisions and resolve conflicts, where your communication skills will be tested.
You will need to share knowledge, encourage patience, and read others better than they read you.
