Create opportunities to interact one on one time with your boss, your children, your spouse, your friends, and your employees. When you listen, you learn, which opens the door to creative solutions and mutual trust.
As business people we are familiar with the one on one, we meet up with a fellow business person to get to know them just a little bit better. We should do that with people more often in our personal lives too. Call up a neighbor and go out for coffee and get to know each other outside of the neighborhood, you would be surprised how much you can learn about each other.
Ask your boss or co workers out for a cup of tea and try to talk about anything other than work. Make an date with your children and go to the park for a couple hours and loosen up, have fun.
Make a date with your spouse and do something or go somewhere you have done or been before. Listen to them when other's are around and talking about things or places they have experienced and if your spouse comments, take a mental note and surprise them at a later time.
It really is easy to add some interest to the relationships around you, give it a try.
