Leadership Case

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. So it is essential to have good work relationships, you feel comfortable while interacted with them, you feel closer communication with those with whom you spend the most of time on work. Because to feel yourself and to feel others it is significant part of any relationships, just to be empathetic. It is very important to show support to others at work. The effort and generosity can help to create good relations and what is more, to establish trust.

However, the majority of people think that development of healthy relationships, especially at work, is not necessary for them, may be it is because of their great knowledge and skills, so they feel themselves above it all, may be because of competition and other difficulties which everyone faces at work. But it is absolutely improper; on the contrary you should always share your knowledge with others, you should improve the skills of your colleagues, develop them, and appreciate them for it, in fact the good leader should think in way "I want you better than me"1, in some extent it also motivates your people. Unfortunately, the majority of people do not make effort to develop the positive relations with their colleagues. They assume that this task is impossible. But I think it is very easy to have the healthy relations with people at work, irrespective of the type of identity which you have. Just be positive, a leader should have positive mental attitude.

Taking before giving, one more incorrect view, I find, that the more you give without any immediate expectation of return in mind, the more you get. Again, in order to expect something in return, you should establish positive relationships, you should build trust, be always open with your people, should allow another, know, who you are, in other words, you should be trustworthy person, and otherwise they will feel, that you do something only because you want something from them. I suppose, that is why, the heart of great manager is the managers who are best at getting the most from their people are those who give the most to others.2

There are some people, who improve their relationships with those, who are similar to them, who have the same interests; they do not want to communicate with others, may be because they do not understand them, but the best way to understand people
