Ingredient: Positive Workplace Relationships
Building positive and supportive relationships with the people you work with
How
01
Pick one piece: Choose a small, concrete part of your work (a slide, a part of a tool).
02
Ask specifically: Frame the ask as “What’s one thing I could improve to make this stronger?”
03
Act and close the loop: Implement one suggestion and thank them briefly for their input.
Easy Start
Send one message: “Could you share one improvement on slide 5?”
Why It Matters
Specific asks earn better feedback, signal humility, and build trust - people are more willing to help again making future collaborations easier.
Questions and Thoughts
- “I’ll look weak.” → It signals quality focus.
- “People are busy.” → Ask for one thing and a small piece.
- “Feedback feels harsh.” → Treat it as data; pick one change and move.
Care Notes
Choose someone close to the context. Avoid sensitive client details unless cleared. Share credit when their input improves the work.
