This suggestion is not intended as a warning to all those who, in the company, establish friendly relations. As already mentioned in this article, it is important to deepen knowledge in the workplace, also considering the average number of hours spent in the office.
Relationships of mutual respect and trust are important for a solid and lasting collaboration; However, it is necessary to highlight some correct considerations, which can be especially useful for the executive secretary, who is used to dealing with many people on a daily basis.
Establishing good relationships, dating outside working hours, enjoying a lunch or coffee break together are absolutely not inappropriate attitudes, quite the contrary. What it is good to pay attention to is not to confuse personal and professional relationships, especially during team projects that involve several people, but to respect everyone’s word and thought equally.
Give constructive feedback
One of the tools used by modern company communication is the feedback interview. It is a real support for awareness, improvement and optimization of behaviors or modus operandi.
Before giving and receiving feedback, it is important to know how to formulate and appreciate it. Those interested in giving feedback on someone’s work must carefully consider how to set up the message. Is this a constructive comment? Or rather a criticism that will little help those who will receive it?
Another fundamental aspect concerns the moment in which feedback is received. Are you ready to hear what someone has to tell us? Or does due reflection leave room for disappointment?
To give and receive feedback it is essential to know its nature, to be able to identify and analyze the constructive ideas that have the sole objective of optimizing working aspects.
