We all work with others at some point in time.

There are many different things that we can focus on and many different people that we could become close with during our time in an office.

There are four relationships that are vital in any workplace. Let’s work through them.

1. The Boss and You

This one is a no-brainer. It’s essential that whether or not you like your boss, or develop goodwill and trust.

To build something of value, a mutual relationship and a mutual bond are essential.

Keep it simple. Three quick things, understand their expectations for you, execute on those expectations with excellence, and mutual understanding of personal growth targets.

If you’re working as a graphic designer under a brand exec who aspires to be the CMO of a product line, it’s essential that when your boss becomes a CMO, they understand exactly what you want and how you fit into their vision. If you add the right value to their team, you can become an invaluable asset and help further their vision while continuing the relentless pursuit of your own.
