How to Work with (Almost) Anyone

Navigating the evolving landscape of work, the focus is increasingly on building meaningful relationships. In this episode we are joined by ?? Michael Bungay Stanier , a thought leader on leadership coaching. He emphasized having intentional “keystone conversations” to align on how you will collaborate.

This involves asking and answering 5 powerful questions before starting work:

1. The Amplify Question: What’s your best? Understand what ignites someone's passion.
2. The Steady Question: What are your practices and preferences? Learn how someone works best.
3. The Good Date Question: What can you learn from successful past relationships? Draw on what has worked before.
4. The Bad Date Question: What can you learn from frustrating past relationships? Take responsibility for your role.
5. The Repair Question: How will you fix it when things go wrong? Have a plan to reconnect.

"Have these conversations set's the relationship up for success,". He also shared principles for maintaining connections, including openness, constantly adjusting, and repairing quickly.

Michael invites you to initiate these relationship-building keystone conversations. "Be the one who reaches out first,".
