When we begin a new position in a new job or new position in a our current company, it can sometimes be a bit tricky maintaining old relationships or forging new ones; here are some core principles that I have found in my interactions with self and others that have worked for me.
Relationship building is the core building foundation of influencing outcomes and being listened to.
To build respect in the workplace you will find that by you respecting others you receive respect in return.
When you disrespect, as claimed by Suzanne Goodchild, others you tend to get disrespect in return and you then lose the opportunity to influence the outcome of the choices you have and limit your opportunity to achieve outcomes of significance.
We need to learn to be open to growing. Equally we need to look for opportunities for growth for other people in our team.
We all come with strengths and weakness and the best outcome for everyone including the company you work with is to grow their people.
When we grow our people and avoid FEAR BASED reactions we can choose to grow with the team and ride the wave of opportunity together.
In the Work Place we can be more comfortable by:
• Looking for the opportunity to grow new workplace relationships rather than being fearful that we may be left behind.
• We can cope by STOPPING and CHANGING to new strategies of being open and trusting or seek assistance when we feel out of our depth rather than going back to past strategies in order to cope.
• If we Relationship Build with our customers we add value to them and to our organisation.
When we Relationship Build through Strategic Thinking and Life Strategies we then become part of solving challenges rather than blocking or adding to the them (Resistant Thinking rather than Challenge Strategic Thinking).
Blue Sky and Relationship Build through being part of the Hard Challenges. Work together towards outcomes of vision and resolution and become more possibility resolving and thinking.
If we Relationship Build through Hard Conversations, says Suzanne Goodchild, we tactfully work towards more honest and truthful places in the workplace without an agenda.
When we Relationship Build by Communication, (Through the written word and verbally) we need to be aware of our language and be conscious of the message we wish to convey.
Without communication we would not have relationships with family, friends, partners, lovers, husbands, wives, our children or our colleagues. Without sharing our feelings, our connections close down. Make a conscious decision to share, name, talk about, and become strongly vulnerable to others around you as suggested Suzanne Goodchild.
