We all want relationships that make us feel fulfilled, where we connect deeply with someone else who understands us for who we really are - but building these kinds of connections takes time and effort.

 To understand the perspective of others, we have to be able to imagine what they're thinking and how their decision-making process affects them. It's a fundamental way for collaboration teams to form identity and achieve important group goals. For example, it helps people working together learn how to collaborate more effectively, communicate with one another better, stay engaged in the project overall and ultimately make their work better.

 If you’re able to look someone in the eye and help them feel more confident and help them be their best, then that’s a no-lose situation.

About how to build a relationship and its benefits: ‘If you focus on the who and how we work together,… you get far better results, and in a way where you bring people along, people feel very fulfilled.’ 

It’s (relationship building is) going down towards that emotional and social intelligence field which is massive at the moment. 

Listening is one of the best ways to socialize, whether through individual conversations or within groups. Being able to hear others’ points of view and ideas helps create a better conversation as well as establish good relationships with people who may be less likely to speak up without your encouragement.
