35. Seating positioning in relation to others Unnecessary friction is created in work situations due to ignorance about seating positions. Sitting opposite creates feelings of confrontation. Do not place chairs so close together that personal space will be invaded. Conversely sitting too far apart will prevent building feelings of trust. ©"Ideapreneurship - Universal Entertainment Paradise
