Commitment to Coworkers

A teammate of mine today sent this to me, I think it is very good, and I'm sharing it here.

Commitment to My Co-Workers

As your co-worker with a shared goal of providing excellent care to our consumers, I commit to the following:

I will accept responsibility for establishing and maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships with you and every member of this staff. I will talk to you promptly if I am having a problem with you. The only time I will discuss it with another person is when I need advice or help in deciding how to communicate with you appropriately.

I will maintain a relationship of functional trust with you and every member of this staff. My relationships with each of you will be equally respectful, regardless of job titles or levels of educational preparation.

I will not engage in the 3 ?B?s?
(bickering, back biting and blaming)
and will ask you not to as well.
I will not complain about another team member:
and ask you not to as well.
If I hear you doing so I will ask you to talk to that person.

I will accept you as you are today, forgiving past problems and ask you to do the same with me.

I will be committed to finding solutions to problems rather than complaining about them or blaming someone for them and ask you to do the same.

I will affirm your contribution to quality consumer care.

I will remember that neither of us is perfect,
And those human errors are opportunities,
not for shame or guilt but for
forgiveness and growth.
