As I read the article I was struck by how many suggestions had something to do with building strong relationships at work…
- Network
- Ask for help
- Be friendly
- Praise others
- Volunteer
- Attend company events
He’s right. If you want to succeed at work you have to build a network of strong relationships. I devote 20 of the 140 tweets in my career success book Success Tweets to relationships. Here are my five favorites.
- Tweet 121 — Get genuinely interested in others. Help bring out the best in everyone you know. Others will gravitate to you.
- Tweet 124 — Everyone has something to offer. Never dismiss anyone out of hand. Take the initiative. Actively build relationships.
- Tweet 127 — Pay it forward. Build relationships by giving with no expectation of return. Give of yourself to build strong relationships.
- Tweet 129 — There is no quid pro quo in effective relationships. Do for others without being asked or waiting for them to do for you.
- Tweet 137 — Do your job. Give credit to others for doing there’s. Everyone likes to work with people who share the credit for a job well done.
Follow this advice and you’ll be able to build the strong relationships that will help you create the life and career success you want and deserve.
