No matter our specific role in the workplace, we all have to work with, for, and through others. That is where things usually get complicated. Why can it be so hard sometimes? Maybe sometimes, it is because we hear and see the same things differently. The secrets to maintaining good and effective work relationships may seem pretty simple in theory. For example, everyone wants to feel respected by the people around them and to be around people they respect. The challenge however is in application, especially when different people show and perceive respect differently. Join the discussion, when we talk about how normal differences between us affect our interactions and how we can identity and use those differences to increase our personal effectiveness. RSVP by October 12 with your name, phone, and department to Yoko Smith at 472-6512 or ysmith2@unl.edu.
