Navigating Work Relationships
It is common for individuals not to connect with every colleague or team member at work. Acknowledging this reality can help normalize the feeling of not liking everyone you work with, as it is a human experience. This recognition allows a manager to focus on maintaining professionalism and respect in their interactions, even with those they find difficult. Importantly, it is not necessary to love or overly like someone to show respect for their humanity in a professional environment.
