Frictionless Working Relationships Are Not About Chemistry

from The Career Edge - by Brize · host Brize

And we do not feel the same way about all of them.That is completely normal and fine.In this episode of The Career Edge, Leslie Ferry makes the case that what actually matters in a working relationship is not whether you like someone. It is whether we understand them. And that understanding, of how they are wired, what they need, what they are protecting, what they fear, does the same work that warmth would otherwise do.In this episode:·      Why chemistry is not what makes a working relationship productive.·      What understanding replaces when a warm connection doesn’t develop.·      What curiosity about how someone works produces over time.·      Why some of the most productive working relationships never become friendships,·      And why that is completely fine.Start your own discovery at www.Zandra.app/wiringgap
