Patience wouldn’t be something you list on your resume, or annual review. Instead, it’s something that is reviewed (by your manager and colleaguest), and gets tested on a daily basis. Being able to exercise control when a co-worker seems impossible is a very important skill to master. It’s all about judgement, and knowing when to hold back.
You don’t lose your cool everytime a colleague misses a deadline. You learn how to re-prioritize the projects you’re working on, and then find a more effective way of getting them back on track. It’s about thinking before you leap. If a timeout is what you need to keep a level head, then walk away and get a snack. Sometimes a position specifically calls for patience, especially those that deal with project management.
So, remember that patience and being contructive gets positive notice. You can talk it out to another co-worker or friend if you’re frustrated, but do’t let the anxiety bug get the best of you.
