Replace "Yes, but..." with "Yes, and..." when you speak to your colleagues. Even if your next sentence implies that the ideas they shared or the favors they asked for are not high on your priority list, they will feel more heard and be more willing to work with you in the future.
When building relationships with your new colleagues, clients, and other shareholders, make sure you take responsibility for the promises you make. It's only when they can count you that you will be able to unlock higher levels of #collaboration and #trust in your relationships.
Whenever you are building a new #relationship, think about how you can be helpful to them rather than how they can be helpful to you. Being #generous with others helps to break down initial barriers, avoid transactional relationships, and build long-lasting meaningful bonds.
Whether you are joining a new organization or have new people joining your team, don't be afraid to share vulnerability with each other. It will lead to higher level of intimacy and give permission for radical candor that will serve your team in achieving higher business results.
Thanksgiving season is all about self-reflection and sharing gratitude with others. So, before you leave the office for the holidays, think about all the things you are grateful for at work and share words of gratitude with your team.
