Relationship Building Skills
Let’s go!
#1. Remove the I Mentality
A Relationship is not one-way stuff, its a two-way thing. To build healthy relationships with people, whether your spouse, colleagues, boss or relatives, you must think about others.
Put yourself in their shoes most times and don’t think about how you will gain all the time.
#2. Integrity
‘Integrity’ they say is the act of being honest, showing a consistent and uncompromising adherence to strong moral and ethical principles and values. To build a strong relationship, you must be truthful and honest with people. That is the only way you can earn their trust.
#3. Be Understanding
Your ability to understand and compromise, to an extent removes complications in relationship.
Try to understand people, even when they are not making sense at all, this makes them feel more important and always comfortable around you.
#4. Try to be Polite
Being friends with your colleagues does not mean you need to reveal all your secrets and disclose confidential information.
You must know where to draw the line. Never disclose your team’s strategies to anyone outside your team, no matter how close he/she is to you. If you do so, your survival in the office will be a big question mark.
Leave your ego behind the moment you step inside the office. There is actually no place of ego in relationships as well. Be kind to each and every-one. It pays in the long run.
Avoid being jealous. Never criticize anyone.
#5. Learn to forgive others
Time is one of the most important factors which decides the fate of any relationship be it in office or personal relationships. At the office, you need to give time to your subordinates, team members and people around you.
Lend a sympathetic ear to other’s problems. Have lunch with your team members, talk to them but never interfere too much in their personal lives. Wish them on their birthdays, go out with them for small get-togethers or speak to them once in a while after work.
