What can you do to strengthen work relationships?

It is hard to recognize that relationships should be encouraged and that work life needn?t be separate and distinct from one?s personal life. In truth, we all bring our personal lives to work each day and often talk about them with our colleagues. Even those who don?t share what?s going on outside the workplace bring their moods or attitudes to the office. Leaders and managers recognize that each employee is a whole person with a private life that accompanies him or her to work. Ignoring this reality prevents office and its staff to maintain a prepared, productive, and polished team.

Ten Kinds of Co-Workers

All co-workers play a vital role in company?s success. Here are ten roles co-workers can play:

1. Builders

2. Champions

3. Collaborators

4. Companions

5. Connectors

6. Energizers

7. Mind openers

8. Navigators

9. Motivators

10. Problem Solvers

Which one of the above are you?

How can you personally help make our office produce a more effective and friendlier work environment?

Some co-workers will fulfill more than one role. This is certainly a more positive approach than that suggested in a recent business book, which simplistically categorizes our work relationships into jerks and non-jerks. Even those we don?t consider some co-workers friends outside the workplace, can all chip in and make our lives at work more productive and friendly.

Have you ever taken a course in how to be a co-worker? What about studying a course on one-on-one workplace relationships? Certainly, we could all benefit from taking a look at the roles we play with our customers and clients, coworkers and, our bosses. Complacence of bad attitudes among co-workers in the work place brings down moral, productivity, and quite frankly it?s bad for business.

Exercising your daily personal Christ Empowered Opportunity begins with a renewed mind in Christ. (Romans 12:1) It will allow you to develop a new attitude, and bring a increase in your smile that you will help you be more effective in your job. Attitude is everything, and a smile is contagious which could change a person?s outlook, and performance throughout the rest of the day. Please don?t take my word for it, try it!
