High-performing teams are built or broken by one thing…Relationships.
After decades of research, the science is clear. Teams with Relationship Intelligence (RQ) build trust faster and outperform the rest. Organizations with high Relationship Intelligence know how to build indestructible teams. They embrace diversity, navigate conflict, and power through obstacles with smarter decisions. Without RQ, teams have a tendency to default into turf wars, master the blame game, and implode under pressure. We can help you create a workplace where relationships thrive.
Relationship awareness theory provides a simple, common language for people to understand the motives behind their behavior, prevent and manage conflict effectively and engage in meaningful conversation with others. When applied within teams and organizations, this language dramatically improves the quality of working relationships and workplace performance.
The Strengths Deployment Inventory (SDI 2.0) is based on a comprehensively researched theory of human motivation originally developed by psychologist and educator, Dr. Elias Port. The theory has four concepts:
- Behavior is driven by motivation.
- Motivation changes during conflict.
- Strengths can be overdone.
- Filters influence perspectives.
These foundational insights power individual and organizational relational growth and development.
