For respectful relationships to thrive, individuals and teams need to be honest and open with each other. This is useful for developing accountability. Being frank, but non-accusatory, about when something hurts often clears the air. Cryptic behavior breeds secrecy and distrust, no matter whether face-to-face or online.
Teams and clients appreciate:
Employees who are honest.
Employees who are open.
A consistent culture of trust and respect.
Building positive relationships within online teams and face-to-face.
