Some people dont play well in a team and can be like that link in the chain that keeps skipping. What can you do if you are part of a team that is not playing well together? Are you doing your part and contributing to the goals of the team or are you getting bogged down with situations? Good team play can be contagious.

How can you survive in this kind of a working environment? If they are a team player then that filters down to the staff, but if they are the King of the Hill, then that also starts to filter down and people start to feel more important than they should and a lot of power struggles start happening and back-biting.

I think it is preferable for those who do set it aside to include all support staff as most offices now work in teams and everyone should be rewarded for a job well done. It is great training for the office environment, no matter what field you end up in. Is your office doing anything for Administrative Professionals Day?

I have found in some work environments there is a real distinction between executives and staff. The boss-assistant relationship is one of the closest working relationships you will have and if you have a good relationship, there will be a true team spirit. The one I like the least is staff. It is almost palpable.
