It’s no secret that having great relationships with your coworkers makes everybody’s experience at work not only enjoyable but also more meaningful. Building strong relationships with others requires us to develop genuine interests in their lives. This often involves asking a lot of questions, and paying close attention to the things they share.
Another part of the equation to great relationships at work is to share things about yourself, without others needing to always take the initiative to ask. One way to do this is by playing a game of All About Me.
