DESCRIPTION

To be successful and respected in our chosen career, it is increasingly important that we are able to build and maintain positive working relationships not only with the people with whom we work but also with our clients and business associates.

To do so effectively, we must be able to deal with all types of personalities and relate to a variety of people with opinions, values and temperaments all different to our own. We must also be aware of the effect of our own behaviour on our working relationships and be prepared to be flexible in our dealings with others to the extent of adapting our own style where necessary.
