If you value and respect yourself, you will do the same to others. Professional relationships focus on respecting and valuing the strengths, skills and knowledge of the people you work with and recognizing the contribution made by everyone.
I now understand more than ever that it is very crucial to cultivate, maintain and nurture relationships with the people we do business with or the people we met -- not to burn bridges. By "burning bridges" I mean, destroy relationships with your customers, clients, employees, vendors, etc. The key to good relationships is to accentuate the positives.
Knowing and understanding my behavioral types and personality styles as well as others, will help me create rapport and connection with people. I can improve my communication skills and reduce conflict. Imagine being able to understand better what motivates people and being able to recognize how to effectively deal with others.
