I have gone to lunch with co-workers and contacts from other departments and definitely agree that this was time well spent in building trust in relationships. I learned a lot about them and found common interests in our discussions. Whenever I needed help from these individuals, it was much easier to get a response and support. Excellent article!

I recall working on assignment out of town where I was not invited to lunch for the first month or so that I was there. Being young and hot-headed, I took it as a personal slight. Finally I realized that I could invite others to lunch rather than waiting for them to invite me - duh! People don't typically eat with people whom they don't like, so I've heard if someone eats with you they start to like you. Maybe that's why the Japanese put such an emphasis on spending time together after 5 PM dining out, having a beer or sake, and belting out a little karaoke!
