How do you build relationships in the workplace?

Relationship building is a crucial business skill regardless of your role. Your Kellogg MBA alumni interviewer is interested to know more about how you approach this necessary aspect of your work. They also know that building relationships with your classmates and professors will be critical to your ability to be successful at Kellogg. Show them you have the skills to establish rapport in both settings.

Include a mix of performance-based and soft-skill approaches within your response. Relationship building is about keeping your word, delivering your work, and connecting with others. Your answer should convince your interviewer you take a comprehensive approach that works well professionally and in an educational setting.
