| Likes/Dislikes, unlike facebook clicks, are very personal and they vary with interactions, communications and level of trust in between you and your colleagues. I would like to recommend this small exercise based on the game theory called "Evolution of Trust", https://ncase.me/trust/ At the end of this exercise there were three findings:
1. Repeat Interactions
2. Look for a possible win-win situation
3. Low Miscommunication Definitely, as I said in the start, there is a lot more than a few factors that affect a colleague likeness/dislikeness towards you. The biggest lesson from above exercise in response to your questions would be: "In the short term, your environment defines how people like you, but in the long term, it is you who defines the environment. So, do what you can do to improve conditions necessary to evolve trust, build relationships, communicate clearly." If it is important that you want people to like you, then communicate clearly. Ask them, "Have you ever thought, Why do you think any colleague should like you?". Tell them, what are the reasons you like them professionally and personally, and ask the favor back. I do it every time whenever I have a question of like/dislike related to a colleague. |
