How to Build Good Work Relationships<\/h2>\n

As you’ll know from your oldest friends, building close connections with people can take time. But there are also steps you can take today to get on better with your colleagues.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Identify Your Relationship Needs<\/strong>

  2. Develop Your People Skills<\/strong>

  3. Focus on Your EI<\/strong>
    \nEmotional intelligence EI) is your ability to recognize your own emotions, and better understand what they’re telling you. By developing your EI, you’ll become more adept at identifying and handling the emotions and needs of others.<\/li>\n
  4. Practice Mindful Listening<\/strong>
    \nPeople respond better to those who truly listen to what they have to say. By practicing\u00a0mindful listening you’ll\u00a0talk less and understand more. And you’ll quickly become known as trustworthy.<\/li>\n
  5. Schedule Time to Build Relationships<\/strong>
    \nIf possible, you could ask a colleague out for a quick cup of coffee. Or give a “one-minute kindness” by commenting on a co-worker’s LinkedIn post you enjoyed reading. These little interactions take time but lay the groundwork for strong relationships.<\/li>\n
  6. Manage Your Boundaries<\/strong>
    \nMake time, but not too much! Sometimes, a work relationship can impair productivity, especially when a friend or colleague begins to monopolize your time. It’s important to\u00a0set your boundaries and\u00a0manage how much time you devote to social interactions at work.<\/li>\n
  7. Appreciate Others<\/strong>
    \nEveryone, from your boss to the intern, wants to feel that their work is appreciated. So, genuinely compliment the people around you when they do something well. Praise and\u00a0recognition will open the door to great work relationships.<\/li>\n
  8. Be Positive<\/strong>
    \nFocus on being positive. Positivity is\u00a0contagious and people gravitate to those that make them feel good.<\/li>\n
  9. Avoid Gossiping<\/strong>
    \nOffice politics and\u00a0gossip\u00a0can ruin workplace relationships. If you’re experiencing conflict with someone in your group, talk to them directly about the problem. Gossiping with other colleagues will only exacerbate the situation, accelerating mistrust and animosity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
