Learn to Relate
Getting people comfortable is another important element that should be practiced if one intends to get the best results out of anyone. When an individual is comfortable and confident, then the likelihood of that individual breaking all “records” in the quest to do and produce their best is very definite.
Being able to relate to anyone at anytime is perhaps a virtue that should be learnt and practiced as often as possible.

Empathy can go a long way in making other feel understood and accepted. When condemnation is kept to a minimal and exercised only when absolutely necessary, then those involved will be able to function more effectively as they are confident of being accepted and respected for their contributions and efforts.
Though some quarters advocate keeping some level of formality and distance between the different levels of any working relationship, taking this too seriously will eventually dissolve the ability to relate to different people and different situations.
Such an environment can cause a project to stall or even struggle to reach its success because those involved are not able to relate to each other‟s needs and thought processes.
Taking the time to understand and perhaps even lend a helping hand or giving well placed advice shows the individual‟s intention of wanting to relate better and create a more conducive relationship or environment.
Another way to create the perception or willingness to relating to something lies in the effort expounded to actually trying to learn more or get more involved in the endeavor or situation.
This gives all concerned an opportunity to understand the various aspects involved which in turn could contribute to a better level of tolerance and success.
Avoid forming opinions and making remarks until one is completely sure of all that has transpired. By this simple act of patience being practiced throughout the exercise of gaining full knowledge of any situation, the individual is able to better relate to the different aspects of the said situation and thus render a better overall judgment which will then be accepted as being relatable.
