“Click” is the most important thing in negotiation, making constructive dialogue, in short, in communication. The first aspect of people’s interrelations is affection. Let you be a businessman, a teacher or anyone else who deals with people, you have to be liked and like who you deal with (or show you like them) to be successful. My beloved teacher told me: ”When you enter the classroom for the first time your first aim is to make your students like you. If you can do it you will be able to teach them.” I had worked as a teacher for 10 years. It really worked. But I realized one more thing that TO BE LOVED is nearly as important as TO LOVE. It is one aspect of affection.
Another aspect is to be flexible. Some people consider flexibility as losing your own self, having no personal attitude towards things. But to my mind it is to be adaptive to the environment you are in (country, group of people etc). For example, I had a chance to work in three different countries. It means I had to change my behavior accordingly. I must confess it is not difficult if you don’t lose your identity and follow your moral principles. It can seem contradicting but to be yourself can help you be flexible. People especially children feel if you are not sincere. They will just not “click” on you.
To have natural affection and sincere love from whom you want to get something is inseparable part of relation.
