How to survive in a male team?

Once in a team of men, you accept all the rules of the game that existed before you. Here there is a struggle for career growth, money andsuccess in their work, so you automatically become an equal opponent. And do not say that you did not know this. No one will pity you, wipe away tears and write off blunders that you are a woman. Demanding a special relationship, you risk receiving a brutal reaction from colleagues in return. Do not provoke them to do this.

Ideal behavior strategy - show your professional abilities,Become a colleague and a strong link in the team. Decide at once what goals you pursue. Service novels, flirting with management can cause hostile attitude from colleagues, will make you doubt your professional and personal qualities, and will knowingly give a negative assessment of all your ideas. Remember that if the situation in the team becomes tense and unproductive, then most likely, they will dismiss the woman.

Therefore, Be cautious, give up callers, outspoken clothes, do not wear extravagant jewelry. Try to change your wardrobe so that in your outfit necessarily there were some separate elements of men's clothing - a shirt, jacket, trousers, vest. Business style will bring you closer to the image of the surrounding men, and you will not look like a "black sheep" among them.

Try to understand the men, make friends with them. Do not take any attention signs, especially from different men. This can be a provocation, so to speak,"Check for lice". What you are outwardly visible at once, but inwardly you still need to study before accepting into the collective. Therefore, to begin with, it is worth paying more attention not to admirers, but to gaining knowledge and experience in their specialty.

Even the most strict colleagues always respect the professionals in their business, and it does not matter whether it's a woman or a man. Trying to gain authority, do not aspire for men to be "their own in the board". After all, they understand this behavior to you, likelady, it is unusual, and that you have to play. But you did not come to work in a drama theater, so behave anyway as befits a woman.

And further. Forget emotional spurts, here it's useless. If you are accustomed to rejoice and grieve,then at work you risk being known as an unbalanced hysterical. Remember that here, among male colleagues, nobody cares about your problems and reactions to them. Hide emotions, even if they showed frank rudeness toward you. Many women can not remain silent, and some can even burst into tears. But in this way they just show their weakness. And this can not be done categorically.

Well, you're strong! Try, as far as possible, to maintain self-control in such a situation, do not let yourself be dragged into a senseless scandal. Resist, answer calmly and correctly. In any controversial situation, a person who owns his emotions looks more worthy. Sometimes men behave rudely, just to provoke you, to point out to you "your place".
