It is very important to build positive work relationships. It allows you to reduce stress and conflict situations at the office. It also plays important role in your career success. The relations can create positive or negative impact on your work and your ability to progress and reach recognition for your performance. You should concentrate on creation of the positive relations with all your colleagues, not only with superiors or somebody who is important in the hierarchy, it is wrong and definitely it is mistake, as indicated in the second point of the paper, by that you show inequity to some extent that can demotivate your people.
