Building relationships is an extremely difficult aspect at organizations, but its always based on Trust. Ive been trying to enlist people to work with me on Java, Perl, Game Dev projects for 3-4 years now and i realize that Trust is the single most important factor when it comes to building relationships.
The few ones that still show interest in working with me i am extremely patient with . Their failure to deliver as per my expectations often goes unnoticed on the outside, as i realize that the Trust that i have in their person outweighs the dissatisfaction of the project not moving at the speed i wish to.
If i sense i cant Trust a person, then within a moments notice i am showing them out of the door, albeit extremely politely, citing our interests dont match, or i do the "its not you its me routine :D"
