Good working relationships are essential in any sector but in a creative media workplace it is one of the top things needed, good communication is a must within this sector as it is all a team effort, good relationships mean better atmosphere and the better the outcome of work produced.
Speaking clearly and thorough in what you want within a task, project your voice so it is heard and is clear, making sure people have understood what you have said and if you think they haven't quite understood summarise what you have said in different words.
Sharing information for your colleagues is an important part of being part of a team in creative media sector, you have to be able to share information precisely as without sharing information to your team deadlines could be missed or not don't properly as everyone in the team is good for different things and have different skills to one another within a team it is good to have people who do things differently so that things can be done productively and done with high outcomes and standards, also without sharing information people would not know where others were at or what is needed in order to complete certain tasks.
It is also important that you balance the needs of tasks and people, as the task have to be done on time to high standards, as well as making sure you have a good relationship with your customers and colleagues, this will help you finish the task in good time and to a good standard as if you didn't have this communication in place nothing would get done.
When giving feedback or when you want a change made in someone's work you have to do it discrete, start off with a positive so the atmosphere is not tense or could end in conflict. Choosing the right time to say what you feel is a must to try and reduce the risk of a conflict. If a conflict may occur you should place yourself on even ground, do not make it seem like your hanging over the over person as this could push the conflict to another level, listening to the other person and what they have to say before speaking yourself, speaking in a calm voice this lets the other person know you have heard what they are saying and understand and don't try and get the last word this only makes the situation worse, if they walk out the room just let them don't follow and try to continue with the argument, they will come back when they have calmed down and willing to talk about it.
Avoiding stress when working is key, as stress can cause a bad environment within the group which will most likely effect working relationships, keeping up to deadlines this is easily done by managing your time effectively and by asking for help or support helps reduce the stress as asking for help will teach you what you didn't know so you are able to do your job more effectively for the next time.
Checking in with colleagues every so often helps gives feedback making work more productive as they know what they are doing right and wrong, keeping up with the latest things is essential for a good creative team.
