 Confrontation:
confrontation is how the aggressive person
works. Such a person demand to get his/her own way.
However such aggressive person never win the respect
of the people with whom he work, people will not loyal
to that person. There would be no good expecting co-
operation where extra effort is required to complete an
urgent order on time.
 Cooperation:
cooperation is how sensible, civilized people
work. They collaborate & help each other. In this way
they gain respect for each other. This results in the
development of efficient working relationship. In an
emergency everyone can make maximum effort and
help each other.

10. How to maintain a good working
relationship:
 Reading people:
As a person become more experienced in
dealing with people, he will realize that the
most important skill is to
‘‘ r e a d t h e i r m o o d s . ’’
 you must be able to realize with whom you can have a
joke and with whom you can’t.
 you need to know who only wants a ‘ y e s o r n o ’
answer and who prefer to discuss a problem.

produce it for your instructor or your training
manager on demand.
 Be reliable so that people quickly find that they can
depend upon you
 Always try your hardest and do your best.

12. ATTITUDE :
 When you enter the world of industry you
are a very new, very unimportant and very
expandable member of the work force.
 Those who demonstrate good attitude are
the most likely to the succeed.
 The greatest incentive to learning a trade is
the earning power. To learn a trade you
need a skilled help and advice of lot of the
people. You must respect their skill and
experience if you are to get their help and
advice in return.

13. S UGGESTIONS :
 Dress in the way recommended by your
company. Many firms provide smart
overalls bearing the company logo. Do not
start the work looking dirty. For example, a
long hairstyle gives a bad impression.
 Listen carefully to the instructions your
instructor gives to you, particularly safety
instructions.
 Never operate a machine or carry out a process.
if you are in a doubt.
 Always confirm the correct procedure with
your instructor.

14. B EHAVIOUR :
 In an industrial environment horseplay and
fooling all around such as pushing, shouting,
throwing things and jokes by a person or
group of persons.
 Engineering equipments are potentially very
dangerous and this sort of behavior cannot be
tolerated in an industrial environment.
 The positive attitude to be taken up as well,
for example, keep your work station clean and
tidy to prevent accident due to slipping.
 A rubbish can lead to fire when welding or flame
cutting.

15. T EAM WORK :
 Quite often you will have to work as q member of
a team. This requires a quite different skills in
interpersonal relationship that when you are
working on your own or under the guidance of
your instructor. For example,
Consider the lifting of large and heavy
packing case , when mechanical lifting gear is not
available. Like any team, the lifting party has a team
leader (captain) that person must have the respect
and confidence of all the other members of the team
because of his/her own experience and expertise.
One “odd ball” going his/her own way at a
certain moment could cause an accident and injury to other
members of the team.
