First, humanize relationships, This means building relationships and conversations not in the name of position. The reason, Conversations with job labels will make the relationship feel very formal and stiff.
"When building relationships that humanize the relationship, it means paying attention to the characteristics of the person you are talking to,” explained Bukik.
Second, understand the essential concept of learning transformation, not just the administrative aspects.
Third, build sustainability by recognizing good practices that have been successful and making future improvements based on feedback from various parties.
