To improve your relationship with others you can use communication and understanding. You can do this through the quality of your interactions with others and how you value your co-workers and acquaintances as human beings. If you want to have a great result in communicating with others, then you have to be motivated and very interested in others. You must seek to understand others, but you also must desire to put this understanding to use in improving your relationships with those around you. At work communication is vital. You won`t have a great career if you are always arguing with your colleagues. Work is the only place where you have to control your emotions, your nerves and your reactions.




People see you in a certain way and you don`t want to leave a bad impression. At work you spend most of your day, and partly half of your life. We all communicate, of course, but not necessarily effectively. When you talk , you must make sure that the other person understands what you are saying, and viceversa. A  proof of ineffective interaction is found in comments such as, “That’s not what I meant,” or, “You never listen to me,” or, “I never knew you felt that way.” It`s not a shame if you hear these lines often. The following suggestions will help to minimize these situations: Make yourself available in your office or wherever people can find you easily on a regular basis; Try to break down the boss/employee barrier by participating in everyday chit-chat with staff over a cup of coffee or soda, in this way you will be more approachable; Listen carefully during conversations with staff members talking of interests, expectations and personal goals. Pay particular attention to the feelings attached to these statements. Effective listening involves gaining an accurate understanding of what someone is saying.

Listening  is a powerful communication skill, that is missing in most conversations. During conversation, carefully attend to the non-verbal behavior of others. Body language may be more powerful than actual words. Also be aware of your own body language.Always maintain eye contact, and nod your head  to show that you are listening and in the same time understanding. A great advice is to attempt to summarize key points, at the end of the discussion. This task will leave the person feeling that you listened and that you valued what they had to say.

Communication is used by everyone in the work place at all times. Employees communicate with each other to get their jobs done. Supervisors communicate with their staff to run a business proficiently. Everyone working within a business communicates with customers and consumers to make sure all of the clients’ needs are met. Without it, no work could ever be accomplished. With communication, many problems can be solved before they even have an opportunity to arise, communicating can be a very powerful act, so always think before speaking.
