It is very likely that at one point or another during your employment, you have been, or will be. asked to work on group projects. Although they can be interesting and challenging at times, it can become a stressful situation when the members of the team do not pull their fair share of the load. Some do less than others because their participation in the project does not require as much input, but other co-workers might try to pawn their share of the work on their members of the team. Unless you have the skill and inner strength to say ‘N o’ to these individuals who ask you to do their work for them, you are going to be in deep trouble. However, sometimes getting overburdened has nothing to do with people asking you to take more on. but instead it is you not being able to tell yourself ‘N o’ — that is stopping yourself from taking on more than what is actually your responsibility because you may of the type that likes to take charge of situations. If the problem lies with being asked to do more by one or more members of the team, then you need to work on learning how to say ‘N o’ to their requests. You need to be straight forward yet polite. You do not want to give them any negotiating room.
