Working Together With Your Friends....???

Isn't it great having friends?

What would we do without them?

But have you ever worked with friends – on a regular basis?

There are many opinions about this, some are pro and some are con.
making friends while work

Most of us have various circles of friends.
  • We have our family which can also be considered as the first or the inner friend circle.
  • Then there friends from the neighborhood.
  • Friends from work .
  • Friends from school.
  • Friends who we know through our children.
  • and of course we can't forget our virtual friends. 
Can working with friends improve productivity in the office or business environment?  Most studies say "yes"

Here are a few questions that you should ask each other before committing to working together:
  • How will you react to suddenly being together all the time?  
  • How will your roles change?
  • Who will be "in charge?"
  • How will you resolve conflict?
  • Will you be able to separate your personal and business relationships?
I have friends who have been working together for years, successfully, they are also husband and wife and parents to two beautiful children.
