If you’re more of a moth on the scale of “social butterfly” it’s time to listen up when it comes to the workplace. “Relationships at work matter,” says Amy Gallo of the Harvard Business Review. “Getting along with your coworkers not only makes your days more pleasant but also makes you better at your job.” Here are her tips for making the connections that matter, even if you’re an introvert or work remotely.
