Building Rapport

Building Rapport

March 5, 2020

Teddy Roosevelt once said, “Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care.” Forming connections with others expedites your ability to work collaboratively, to understand one another, and to support each other. Building rapport is both an art and science and an essential element for getting results with and through others. It takes time and intentional effort to build and maintain rapport.

Rapport is critical for creating and maintaining strong work relationships. Because we get pulled in many directions throughout the day, we may need to pursue moments to interact with others. Positive work relationships foster loyalty and trust and provide a rapport-building platform for collaborating.
