• Schedule time to build relationships. Setting aside a part of the day, even 20 minutes, for things like going to someone's office during lunch for a chat; replying to colleagues posts on Twitter or LinkedIn; or even just asking a colleague out for a quick cup of coffee. These exchanges can be useful for building a base for a good relationship, especially if it’s done in person.
• Appreciate others. By saying an honest thank you to someone when they help you will make them feel appreciated. Everybody wants to feel that their work is appreciated and by complimenting them it will help to build good working relationships.
• Avoid gossiping.
