Avoid negative behaviors that undermine rapport from "summary" of The Like Switch by Jack Schafer,Marvin Karlins
Building rapport is essential in creating a connection with others. However, there are certain negative behaviors that can harm this connection and hinder the development of a strong rapport. These behaviors can range from being overly critical or judgmental to being dismissive or disrespectful towards others. It is important to be mindful of these behaviors and make a conscious effort to avoid them. One common negative behavior that undermines rapport is being overly critical of others. Constantly pointing out flaws or shortcomings can make the other person feel judged and defensive, leading to a breakdown in communication. Instead of focusing on the negatives, it is important to highlight the positives and show appreciation for the other person's strengths and qualities. Another behavior that can harm rapport is being dismissive or disrespectful towards others. This can manifest in various ways, such as interrupting the other person while they are speaking, belittling their opinions, or ignoring their feelings. By showing disrespect, you are signaling to the other person that you do not value their thoughts or feelings, which can damage the relationship. Additionally, being dishonest or insincere can also undermine rapport. People are generally good at detecting when someone is being disingenuous, and this can erode trust and credibility. It is important to be authentic and genuine in your interactions with others to build a strong foundation of trust and rapport.- By being mindful of these negative behaviors and making a conscious effort to avoid them, you can strengthen your rapport with others and foster positive relationships. Building rapport is a two-way street, and it requires effort and dedication to create a connection based on mutual respect and understanding. By avoiding negative behaviors that undermine rapport, you can create a positive and lasting impression on others.
