Work with Good People Only

Welcome to The Daily Hint, where every day I share a bite-sized 60-second tip to help you navigate leadership, innovation, self-discovery, and more. Today’s episode is a crucial one, titled "Work with Good People Only.”

In this episode, I share one of the most challenging decisions of my career: leaving a job and a company I believed in because I had a manager I didn't get along with. This experience is not unique; many of us find ourselves in similar situations, facing the dilemma of staying in a job we love but struggling with difficult colleagues or managers.

The core message of this episode is simple yet powerful: we must prioritize working with good people. It's a standard we should all set for ourselves. Staying true to who we are and our values is paramount. If you're in a toxic environment, it might be time to make a tough decision and move on, even if it means leaving behind a company you think highly of.

The key takeaways from this episode include:

  1. Self-Respect and Authenticity: Always stay true to yourself and your values. Compromising on this can lead to dissatisfaction and hinder your growth.

  2. Toxicity in the Workplace: Understand the impact of negative relationships at work and how they can affect your mental and professional well-being.

  3. Courage to Change: It takes courage to leave a job or a company, but sometimes it's necessary for your own well-being and professional growth.

  4. Setting Standards: Make it a standard to work with good people only. This will not only enhance your work experience but also lead to better collaboration and innovation.

Join me in today's episode of The Daily Hint to explore this vital topic further and empower yourself to make the right choices for your career and personal growth. Remember, working with good people only is a standard worth setting.

Stay tuned for more daily insights and tips on leadership, innovation, and self-discovery.

Transcript:

Work with good people.  One of the most difficult decisions in my life was leaving a job  and leaving a company even with that because I had a manager that  I didn't like, let's say it in this way. And a lot of people are experiencing this and for me, it's so important that we all stay truly to who we are. And worst case, yes, leave a job, leave a manager, leave a company, even though that we believe it's an amazing company, because you should be working with good people only, and that's the standard I would like all of us to set.

We have to work with good people only. Full stop.
