In 4–5 sentences, explain why collaboration and relationship building are important in professional and personal life. Use the course material or another credible source to support your explanation.

Collaboration and relationship building are important in professional and personal life due to various reasons. For instance, collaboration and relationship building help people develop a network that can be used to access job and career opportunities leading to professional development. Collaboration and relationship building also help people expand their social network and create friends who can help them when they need help. Khoury (2021) argues that relationships are important in maintaining good mental health. For instance, relationship building and collaboration can prevent mental issues caused by loneliness, such as depression.

Relationship Building at Work

Collapse All
Introduction
Nobody—not even heroes, leaders, or megastars—reaches success on their own. We all rely on others to achieve our dreams, whether that’s a friend who believes in us, an instructor who challenges us, or a boss who can open the door to future opportunities. The better you are at building relationships with the people in your life (even with those who have different perspectives than your own), the more likely you are to achieve your goals. You can use your relationship-building skills to work with people from diverse cultures, exchange ideas, reach the best possible solutions, and create a stronger, more cohesive, and more productive workplace.

For this assessment, you will strengthen your relationship-building skill and build a key component of your relationship-building skill: collaboration, which means working together to achieve a common goal. You will identify and apply relationship-building and collaborative strategies based on a scenario. Relationship building is a universal skill and one you will continue to refine as you progress throughout your career.
