Building Effective Relationships
Society is defined as
a web of associations, which requires all parties to work and contribute their
share in order to achieve a common goal. Having a relationship that is good,
where cooperation and respect are manifested, can make society work better. In
this way every member works for the good of the whole. This can only be
attained with effective and efficient relationships.
The easiest way to appreciate what is significant to another
party is to ask them what they want and listen to what they have to say.
Effective relationships require parties to openly convey their feelings and
positions on all matters important to the relationship.
In order to build a more effective relationship, parties must
treat each other with respect. We can
show respect just by listening to the other party and by trying genuinely to
comprehend how they function. This also means respecting you.
One more key area in forming an effective relationship is to
tackle differences of the other party openly. Work towards a win-win solution
for both parties. Developing an atmosphere where the other party can express
their feelings when they need to.
Parties should be aware that certain things exist naturally
but should be controlled in any dealings in any relationship. Human nature is one. Some of these things
found in a relationship also include a history of stereotyping or mistrust,
blaming the other person or party for a strained relationship, excluding the
other party's feelings when focusing on a task, no clear and defined objectives,
roles and expectations of each party in a relationship is also unclear.
Relationships are important to anyone, addressing issues and
problems right away is a must to further improve the relationship. As they say
'No man is an Island'. Working together works for the whole - and that is what
is most important.
