Maintaining Constructive Relationships

Maintaining constructive relationships is vital for work place encouragement and respect. Let’s look at each of the three words individually first.

Maintaining requires a constant motion toward something. It’s an action and an intention that must be pursued.

Constructive directs us toward a positive outcome and intent. It’s keeping the end goal in mind.

Relationships are our meaningful interactions with other people on a constant basis.

The beauty of this principle is the combination of these three words. We must proactively work toward bettering each of our working relationships. Relationships require work and they require opportunity to be challenged to make better. Discussion with each other should be constructive as we seek to honor those we work with. And we must always be proactive to reach these goals for the benefit of others.

On the opposite side; we all can relate to the frustrations of not being respected well and with conversations that were not constructive to us or to our development. Our goal is not how we’ve been treated… rather it’s how we can best serve and honor those around us.

This raises the bar for a much greater opportunity for success and encouragement of people. Give it a chance to work for you…
