Positive Relationships

Building positive relationship at work is vital to an individual's success. It is not an easy task as it involves working with people having different attitudes, working styles, goals and moods. However, a little understanding, bit of tolerance, flexibility and lot of common sense can make one's task smoother, says Aditi Joshi

Everybody would agree that a dream job is a place where one looks forward to going to work and not a place one dreads because of the co-workers. With diversity at workplace becoming a reality in all fields, getting along with everyone at work has become a real challenge. Developing positive relationships at work is like block building. Just as fitting the right block in the right bracket leads to the desired shape, a right application of behaviour at right time leads to better understanding, communication and hence better relations.

It is important to realise that when people come to work each day, they don't leave their insecurities, personal problems and personality quirks at home. They come marching right into the office with them, and that's why there are so many conflicts and hiccups at work.
