So before you dash off to another meeting, test yourself. Some of my colleagues are social friends. I dispense praise and criticism about equally. I know the names of the spouses and all children of the people I work with most closely. My subordinates never conceal bad news from me.
Business is important, but co-workers' personal lives come first.
People I work with tend to ask me to lunch. I am careful about making too many demands on people. Turnover and absenteeism aren't a problem at my office. When people come to me with ideas, I make it a point to hear them out. I often ask co-workers for help.
