The two most important factors in building relationships are TRUST and CONFIDENCE.
This leads me to my personal practice of handling relationships and friendships. To develop friends and keep my networking alive I am very careful in making sure that they trust me. This is a very key word that many people take for granted and do not necessarily practice. They say they believe in it, but in reality, they don’t practice it.
There are five letters that are very important to me and I practice them in my leadership ways. The five letters are F F F E and S.
The three F’s stand for FAIR, FIRM and FRIENDLY. Always treat people fairly with firm convictions and in a very friendly manner.
E stands for Empathy. Always put yourself in the his/her place. Try to imagine how he/she feels before you make decisions.
S stands for Sympathy. Again, by understanding people’s feelings you tend to develop long lasting relationships and true friendships.
