BUILDING ALLIANCES

	To take advantage of the better coordination of efforts, broader
organizational perspective, deeper mutual support, AND enhanced
career growth that can result from building alliances with your
peers, do you:

	Share information, personnel, and equipment that can help
	other colleagues do their jobs better, more quickly, or more
	easily?

	Help peers improve their standing in the organization by
	supporting their ideas and seeing that they get the credit they
	deserve?

	Fine-tune your approach to potential allies by learning about
	their goals, interests, and attitudes?

	Help other supervisors look good in the areas that count the
	most in their performance evaluations?

	Treat colleagues as true equals by recognizing and respecting
	their values, really listening to their views, and expressing
	your own opinions honestly?

Does that help? YES or NO
