How Do You Operate At Work?

I see three different ways we relate to our co-workers in the workplace.  The first two are opposite sides of a continuum and both tend toward distrust and abuse.  The last one is not only a balance between the two but looks to 1 Corinthians 12:12-26 to find a Christ-like model.

Victim (adversarial)
Constantly playing the blame game. Distrust at every corner. "No" is the default mode.

Advocate (vendor relations)
The customer is king and they are my customer.  If the customer wants it, it must be right.

Partnership (the body of Christ advancing)
They are my partner in Christ and I’m here to serve them and other members of the body in service to Christ.  While my upline peers' desires drive me, my primary motivation is for the entire body to make much of Christ.  In this kind of relationship I will provide feedback, exude a can-do attitude, be transparent, have similar motivations to those I'm serving, require humility, and have mature people skills (patience, empathy, kindness, respect, etc).

Also, in a body-of-Christ partnership there are no “blame games”.  All blame is placed on conditions and processes (things we can correct so failures don’t recur no matter who’s in what role).  We fix those conditions and processes so people can operate better.  Blame isn’t ever placed on people.  If we cut off every part of our body that ever had a problem we wouldn't make it.  When we fix the cause of the problem, the problematic body part functions fine again.
