Connections in Your Workplace Develop Leader Relations
Through working for 48 years, studying workplace dynamics, writing, and helping people develop their workplace skills in leading, communicating, teaming and creative thinking and problem solving I have discovered one of the areas or skills we all need to continually develop is
CONNECTING
We need to get to know the people we work with.
1. fellow employees
2. supervisors
3. managers
4. leaderz
from the front door to the top floor when possible.
5. vendors
6. customers/clients/patients
7. suppliers
Looking back over my career I can recall hundreds of examples of the most liked and most successful people from sales to design to research to manufacturing to shipping to management and the one common trait that the more successful ones had was
CONNECTING
they met and got to know people in an open and honest way.
So my tip is....
a. begin by introducing yourself to 1 to 5 new people each day
b. then keep in touch weekly or monthly depending upon how you are connected.
c. ask how you can help them
d. when you need help ask them
Best wishes for a continually more successful career day by day.
