You’re 100% right in that many of these can be used to connect with anyone. I think that liking your co-workers helps you like your job, which invariably helps you be better at it. In fact, I think liking the people you work with MIGHT be more important than liking the work you do. @Susan – I LOVE your comments.

Other than that, I completely agree. I think if you like the people you work with it is so much easier to execute on the job. @Charlie – I think #5 is probably the most important (of these 5) in my mind, but I think #4 can contribute and play a big role in #5.

I liked the way you avoided mentioning navigating office politics and replacing it with the getting to know your co-workers. It takes the (sometimes nonsensical) bureaucracy in office work. I'd like to add that people shouldn't be afraid to go to lunch with different co-workers. That's one way to bond with them and get to know their perspective. This is especially good when you a fellow coworker is deemed "difficult." Thanks for the link love by the way... This is a handy post for young workers who are new to the workforce.

I've enjoyed all of your posts, but it's good to see you writing about something you feel so passionate about. What I like about this one is that it is about communicating with co-workers, but you can use these ideas out of that context to connect with anyone. I think it's important to connect with people, kind of realize that they're human, and I think that's especially important at work. These are people with whom you'll naturally form relationships with -- one way or another -- because of the amount of time you spend together. I've been in situations where you go to work, do your job, and go home. Luckily, I've had more experience with positions where there were trust and relationships among employees -- where we could be social, where real friendships formed. I think that these relationships might be necessary for productivity and, honestly, just overall enjoyment of a workplace. You don't have to love your job, but you can, and I think your coworkers play a part. Your ideas are great ways to start connecting and making that happen. Great job, thanks for the post! Ryan,

There are probably a lot of people who subscribe to the "I keep work at work" mentality. But getting to know your co-workers after they've had two drinks can really help the company's energy level during the day. If co-workers learn to genuinely like each other, it makes things so much easier and more sustainable. #4 is the most important one, no joke.
