Learn more about the comic series The Office and understand everything you should NOT do in a company
The Office is one of the funniest TV series of recent times.
With Steve Carell as an uninspiring, arrogant, untrustworthy, business-minded leader who goes down the wrong path to success, it shows everything we can do to become truly unsuccessful business owners, leaders, and collaborators.
Joking aside, though hilarious and comical, the series made me think of some very interesting tips on what we should never do.

About The Office
The Office, a hilarious American television series (it has a British version as well), takes place in a corporate office of the paper mill Dunder Miffin, located in Scranton, Pennsylvania, and shows the daily lives of its comic officials.
Starring Steve Carell as Michael Scout, the single, bragging regional manager, who believes not only to be the cutest job, but also the wisest and best friend of employees, it’s considered one of the funniest of all time.
And you’ll find other actors well known to the public, such as Jenna Fischer, who does the friendly receptionist Pam Beesly who tolerates the boss, John Krasinski, as Jim Halpert, the sales representative who has good conversations with Michael, and Rainn Wilson, who makes Dwight Schrute, the arrogant assistant who along with assistant Ryan Howard (Ed Helms), gives the leader the official view of the facts.
Jim and Pam are still a passionate couple who live in that teenage flirtation and Dwight, one of the funniest, is the bag of office that always falls on Jim’s pranks.
In addition to the comic situations and the incredible characters, the series is still filmed as if it were a testimonial or a film (sort of a documentary) of the day to day office.
And it’s these camera games interacting with the cast that makes everything even more hilarious.
Based on The Office, know what you should never do in the company
Yes, The Office series is really funny and great television entertainment.
But have you noticed (if you have watched) how some characters do things quite like those made by people we meet in the companies?
Of course we need to keep the proportions right, after all, no one is, let’s say, so crazy, but you can be sure there are professionals who do have something in common with the cast members.
And even those who have just undertaken may have identified these attitudes in partners, suppliers and even some clients.
And you, have you seen yourself doing some of these bizarre?
No need to tell me, just read the tips of what you should never do.

1 — Do not lose focus as a leader
Leading is inspiring and not being the employee’s best friend.
People need to respect you and see in you someone who has really conquered their position on their own merits.
Other than that saying “friends, friends, business apart” still makes a lot of sense.
So, never mix things up.
Not that you can not have a closer relationship with your employees, but remember that day to day work requires that you meet the goals and ask for complex projects.
You need to ask and they must comply, as simple as that. And, of course, the friendship can not disrupt the focus of the business.
And with this story of wanting to be friends with employees, Michael is actually one of the most hated in the office and someone who certainly does not inspire anyone.
Another important issue is with regard to your level knowledge, which is fundamental, but certainly not unique.
Michael thinks he’s the wiser and the smarter, and that’s a real shot in the foot to gain the confidence of his co-workers.
And in a company, someone will always have more knowledge than you at some point, which is essential to complement the functions and to achieve the goals.
Keep in mind that employees need to be encouraged to create, innovate and deliver their best skills for results.
And it is difficult for the organization to achieve goals if only the boss thinks he has the knowledge he needs for the jobs.
2 — Watch out for the jokes
Yes, Jim’s jokes make the show a lot funnier.
But, let’s face it, work is no place for inconveniences.
Of course, those more informal and flexible companies certainly have a more conducive environment for some jokes.
Either way, it is always important to have a certain limit at this time.
Depending on the situation, the joke may even turn against the entrepreneur, the leader or the employee and this is not good for the image of the professional.
3 — Do not be a jerk
Being close to the leader, the director, the owner or the investor (in the case of the entrepreneurs) and having a positive professional relationship, within the win-win, is important and indeed must be done.
Consider the following: Your manager or investor inspires you and encourages you to be a better professional, and you take the most assertive projects for results.
Of course, this attitude will inevitably get you a promotion or make your business grow.
But being competent, skillful and key piece is not the same as pulling the bag.
And no one, not even the leader, likes someone sweet and self-interested over him.And if he likes it, you can be sure that this is not the company that has to work or that investor is not someone to be your partner.

When watching, try to use the comic situations to reflect (if that is the case, of course).
