Interpersonal relations are very important for the sustenance of a person. More so, at the workplace these days, where changing office dynamics has made office almost a second home. These days there are certain offices, which even encourage both spouses to work at the same workplace. I have found that there are people who don't look for a change, only because of the good rapport they share with people around them in their present workplace. Remember, your behaviour and attitude at the workplace speaks a lot about YOU, without taking into account your education, experience or designation. Such is the importance of relations at work. Here are 6-tips to help you better manage relationships at work. No dirty politics please: Dont play politics at the workplace. Even if you have initial success, in the end, you would actually alienate yourself from the masses. Dont backbite as it brings negativity at work. Confront the person directly, if you have issues with a person, but always do this separately without discussing him/her with others. (Also read: Good manners key to staying on top.) Never be partial towards a co-worker/boss: Being neutral and unbiased are sure shot steps to success. If in a supervisory role, you show favouritism or as a sub-ordinate are too servile towards your supervisor, you leave a negative impact. Be tactful, as alliances are important to etch a success story but that shouldnt be at the cost of making more enemies. Be appreciative of others work: Appreciation is the basis for good performance. So, dont forget to encourage others if theres good work. Once you do that, you get the same and thus working relationships improve. If youre a manager, dont forget to encourage your team members for a good idea. Thanking, appreciating, rewarding and recognising are very small but important steps to winning the trust and loyalty of fellow employees. Be genuinely nice: Remember, everyone has talent and they are there by virtue of their ability. So, dont question or pass snide remarks on others. Try to help others if need be. You wouldnt lose anything but your knowledge sharing will endear you to others. Moreover, people will get closer to you. When talking, dont be sarcastic or nasty in remarks. Be polite and be respectful as every organisation stands for upholding every individuals respect. Be punctual: Its very important for you to be punctual at office. It is also imperative that you meet your deadlines. After all everyone is accountable for their work. So, keep your commitments, as this will ensure good working relationships. Never indulge in blame-game: This is the worst practise and will drive people away from you. If theres a mistake, figure out how it can be rectified and not who has done it. If you always look at the end-product, your relationship with others will improve automatically and people look up
