First make it correct, then make it fast.
Being nice is a superpower. So is staying calm (especially when others are not). Also, being helpful - especially to people outside your team. When people like you they’re much more likely to help you, possibly in ways you won’t even know you about.
Remember that your users/customers are also people trying to do their job, and get through the day or week, just like you are. Try not to make their lives harder than they already are.
Try to understand where others are coming from, especially in disagreements or multi-team discussion. No-one ever has the complete picture, but very few people (none I’ve ever met) are truly malicious. Don’t mistake a different set of priorities for incompetence or stupidity.
