working relationshipsBusiness and organizational life is a human activity. To think that we can succeed alone without connections to and working relationships with others is folly. Personal productivity and technical expertise are not enough. Research shows (and our experience proves) that the most successful people are good at building and nurturing strong working relationships.

This is a skill often considered a “soft skill” that we “already know how to do”. As such, not enough time and effort is spent thinking about the value of and strategies for building working relationships. One of the things we learned during the remote work of the pandemic is that people missed the interactions with others. And in many organizations we have worked with, relationships have suffered.

The situation for leaders is even more important and confusing. When coupled with the confusion and sometimes poor guidance, leaders often wonder about what the appropriate relationships are with their team members. And too often, all of the other relationships around them face neglect, too. The fact is, people want to be led by someone they know, like, and trust. When they aren’t, they are less productive and far more likely to leave in search of that connection with a new leader in a different organization.

Is poor communication a frustration for you? Do you worry about low levels of trust? Do non-productive conflicts create more challenges than you would like? More focus on nurturing your working relationships will pay immediate dividends.
