The Fourth factor in strengthening the quality of relationship in a workplace is improving your communication skill.
Improving communication is not about language proficiency, it is all about the clarity of thought and quality of your expression to others to get things done.
Most of the problems in the workplace are due to lack of proper communication between you and others on a two-way basis.
Dealing with communication challenges between you and others:
In the workplace, most of us are struggling to meet the expectation of others or others are not up to our expectation. One of the reasons could be due to our inability to express our requirement very clearly to others. Expressing our requirements is the art of communication and developing this skill is a lifelong effort as we need to deal with different people, with a different situation, and also we are at a different level of maturity.
One technique that you can use in a professional environment to get the things done is practicing purposeful communication. It is all about communicating with others by explaining your purpose of the requirement rather than merely saying what do you want.
For example, when you ask for any details from your team, you can go one step further by explaining why you need the details, when exactly you need, how this details would be useful. When you use this technique, there is a high probability that you are getting things done, and your relationship with others also improves.
By nature, the human mind looks for reasoning, when you satisfy it, listening improves and in turn commitment also improves. Also when you take a stretch to explain the requirement with details, you are conveying your respect to others, and you will get it in reciprocation.
Just experiment when you are communicating with others to get things done!
