Masters of Business Relationships

Do any of you know someone who excels at business relationships? 

I'm trying to compile a list of common characteristics, strengths, skills or management styles that masters of business relationships practice.

Many of you are business relationship masters yourselves.  You obviously understand the importance of good business relationships if you're reading this on businessrelationships.com!   What are you doing that makes you a master? 

Some characteristics or skills I've noticed are asking questions about others, like, 'What kinds of projects are you working on now?' or, 'Last time we spoke you were getting ready to go on a long trip to Europe with your family.  How was it?' 

Genuine interest in others and, many times, empathy are big characteristics I see in masters of relationships-- especially in business.   

What have you noticed about masters of business relationships?

    1. I find that those who are business relationship masters are also great listeners. They listen not only to the words, but the spaces between the words.

    2. They value other people and are interested in helping others succeed.

    3. These masters are wonderful to work with because they establish so much trust, that you can say what you think and not fear that it will damage the relationship.


    Thanks for asking.

  • On-target, Mimi.  Especially the point about genuine interest.  To Wes's earlier point, you can't be faking it.


    Genuine interest allows asking at a comfort level that doen't put up defences against prying.
