Creative, talented,brilliant, You would be thrilled if your boss used any of these words to describe you. But how about nice? Condider it for a moment: When asked to come up a definitive description of your capabilities, your manager said: "she 's very nice." True, there's far worse labels, but if someone used that description of you following a first date, there might not be a second one.
It's not that a pleasant demeanor isn't a valuable trait on the job. After all, People want to work with individuals who are tactful, responsive and quick to offer a helpping hand.
The trouble with being too nice is that it often goes hand in hand with other trait, such as being too accommodating, unwilling to speak up for yourself, or hesitant to offer constructive criticism to your colleagues. Following are some tips to help you be nice and creative, talent and brilliant.
Set boundaries.
People who are too nice rarely say no. However, there's a vast chasm between helpping out in a pinch and being overly accommodating. If you accept every request, even when your plate is full, you risk being taken advantage of and can quickly burn out. The next time, a colleagues ask for you help and you're slammed with your own work, ask if you can lend a hand later, when you're less busy.
comments: there's a confusion sometimes, not only in job but also in life, you know, when you're too nice, not all people can focus on you. the people always focus on the people who are humor guy, but never focus whether the nice people is caring of you. So, the nice people, both in job and life, they're always the one who clap for others.
