Overview:
It has been said that business is all about relationships. Not only is it true but with the blurring of the lines between our business and social lives, relationships matter even more, both personally and professionally. Whether they are virtual or personal, with fans or friends in Social Media, formal or informal, relationships are at the heart of how we function in the everyday hustle and bustle of the business marketplace. They affect how we define ourselves and how others define us. From brief interactions such as extending a greeting or request for service to a cafeteria attendant, to a more structured, interpersonal engagement with a supervisor, building and maintaining positive, productive relationships takes commitment, a positive outlook on life, essential tools and consistent effort. It will not happen overnight. Building relationships on a foundation of trust, respect and integrity using the tools identified below, is tightly linked to our personal and professional growth and development.
The quality of our relationships shapes our experience inside and outside the workplace. These perceptions may be fleeting or quite entrenched and could affect your path to personal and career success. Since it takes at least two people to have a relationship there must be mutual understanding and agreement between all parties about what to expect and the associated behaviors. Quite often this is not written down but assumed to be part of our knowledge of social graces and etiquette. While not all standards are universal, each person must set parameters for what is appropriate or comfortable for them and communicate that clearly. This may be verbal, in writing or through body language. Hugs are a very good example that illustrates this point.
Because relationships do matter in business, skilled use of the following tools guided by an open mind, will help build respect, trust and integrity and enhance the quality of our experiences inside and outside the workplace.
Attentiveness
Giving and nurturing
Social savvy
Praising and recognizing others
Communicating
