Building Successful Work Relationships
- 2 Days Course
- Language: English
Introduction:
In the interdependent workplace, we rely on each other to get things done. A professional network isn’t something we can take for granted – mapping work relationships can be a complex task and understanding different behavioral styles takes effort – but it pays off! Good working relationships mean more than just reducing conflict and misunderstandings. It also means building trust, increasing influence, and benefitting from the knowledge and advice of co-workers and senior managers.
