Build Strong Relationships

What do the people you interact with on a regular basis need from you, and how can you strengthen those relationships?

If you can build strong relationships with everyone you interact with, it will make it a lot easier to get things done. You will be able to get things you need more quickly and be able to look after others’ needs so that they enjoy dealing with you.

Use these three tips to build stronger relationships with the people you interact with:

1. Take inventory of your relationships.

Think of all the different people that you have to interact with as a leader in order to achieve the results you need. You deal with people in the front office, your manager, and your peers from other shifts and departments. If you have those relationships on a list, then you can determine their strength and which ones need more time and attention to make you more successful in working with those people.

2. Give them what they need.

When you give them what they need, you are going to be more successful. When they see that you are helping them do what they need to get done, they are going to be more apt to help you do what you need to get done.

3. Thank the people who help you.

When you show positive reinforcement and praise to the people who help you out, they will be more likely to continue to do that going forward. You will be creating the future help that you need to be successful.

Strengthening your relationships can make it easier to get the things done that you need to achieve because others will be helping you out. It can also reduce your own stress and frustration on the job.

We look forward to helping you strengthen your relationships and being your partner in fine-tuning your other leadership skills and attributes.
