Ten New Commandments

Believe - in yourself and you'll encourage others to do the same

Be Honest - with your colleagues, and you will establish a reputation for reliability

Don't be afraid - to ask questions

Work as part of a team - don't try to push yourself forward at the detriment of your colleagues or company

Be objective - Do not let your emotions interfere with your decision making

Respect differences - in others and value their qualities

Learn from your mistakes - There is no such thing as failure only feedback

Support your manager - as he or she supports you

Be enthusiastic - about your work and you will inspire others around you

Be results orientated - this will help you to be more motivated, and leave you with a sense of achievement

Are you bored at work

In a rut - Been in the business too long?

Are you bored at work?
1 Are there lots of tasks you could be doing but none that appeal?
2 Are you unclear what your job means to the company and why it is valuable?
3 Do you have lots of open-ended meetings where you find your mind wandering?
4 Are you drowning in paperwork?
5 Do you exercise little freedom over how you do your job, for example do you have to perform to a script or detailed guidelines?
6 Do you have little freedom about when you carry out tasks, for example when to take a break?
7 Do you frequently find it hard to concentrate?
8 Do you feel unchallenged for most of your working day?
If you answered yes to three or fewer questions, it's likely you experience boredom at work occasionally. If you answered yes to three or more, then you are very bored indeed. Take immediate action: speak to your boss, change how you do your job or leave.

Do it - Take action
