Why Work Friends are Worth It

Shasta Nelson, relationship expert and author, says that work
friendships are critical to individual and organizational success
but acknowledges that it's not always easy to build these personal
-- but still professional - connections, especially when work is
virtual. She explains why consistency, vulnerability, and
positivity are fundamental to friendship and offers specific
suggestions for how to build those things with colleagues. Nelson
is the author of the book "The Business of Friendship: Making the
Most of Our Relationships Where We Spend Most of Our Time."
