Could you please look up from your computer when I say good morning to you?

Could you show some interest in me when I ask you how you are?

Could you occasionally remember that I have issues, concerns, challenges – and ask me about them?

Could you engage in some water cooler small talk without making it a lecture?

Could you listen to me when I say I’ve got a cold/am struggling with a deadline/feel stressed . . . without telling me that you feel the same?

Could you try to develop me?

Could you show some interest in me please?

Could you develop yourself?

Could you become a little more self-aware . . . please?

Not rocket science.
Emotional intelligence at its simplest . . .
