DO YOU HAVE A BEST FRIEND AT WORK?

I remember having written this post and was quite excited about this , today even an expert from Gallup endorsed this . Tom Rath , from Gallup who has authored " Vital Freinds" mentions about :

Eight vital roles that frinds play -

Builders - Those who motivate you to achieve more

Champions - Loyalists who stand up for you

Collaborators - with similar interests

Companion - classic frinds who you call first with your news

Coonnectors - who introduce you to others

Energisers - who give you a boost when you're down

Mind openers - who expand your horizons

Navigators - who you go for advice

One friend might not be able to play all roles , but they all are needed . Remember , in spite of resistance from CEO's , Gallup insisted on having this question in thier famous Q12 surveys.
" Do i have a best friend at work ?"

Inspired from : the Corporate dossier - December 22 , 2006
