Closing a chapter

Although it was a very short time that I spent with my recent team it was an outstanding experience. We capped it of tonight by going out unwinding in a very casual atmosphere. It is great to see a team come together and really enjoy working as a team rather than individuals.

Once you can say you have strong friends at work you are likely to share success, failures and feedback more often, This is because you will be building trust which is the single most important trait in any relationship. If a person does not have friends at work and distances themselves from others you can almost count on them resigning in the next few months. However if you can engage them, understand them, and recognize them you will have an employee and friend for life.

Over my career I have built outstanding relationships with people that I have worked with. These people might have been my employees, bosses or peers. However today I would call them my friends.
