Outstanding Wisdom. Thank you very much Maarten for uplifting us that 'Caring for People' is much more important than our expertise. I learned from my colleague 'People don't care about what you know until you know that you care for them'. This article is a powerful illustration of this quote. You are gift for us. Thanks for everything you do to keep refining us day by day.

Building relationships before you need them. Have a genuine interest in the people you work with.

Seen many a time that collaboration is seen as a necessary evil. And sadly, most of these times people are handed 'tricks' to interact with people. Wrongly confirming the nature of working with others as 'transactional'.

If this is really how you feel about working with others. Don't get into positions of leadership, management or roles that depend on influence. Address this first.
