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 consistently outperform others — an approach built on the Strengths Deployment Inventory (SDI 2.0). Organizations with high RQ build resilient teams that embrace diversity, navigate conflict, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
Without RQ, teams often fall into turf wars, default to blame, and struggle under pressure. We help you create a workplace where relationships thrive.
Relationship Awareness Theory provides a simple, shared language to understand the motives behind behavior, prevent and manage conflict effectively, and engage in meaningful conversations. When applied across teams and organizations, this approach strengthens relationships and improves overall performance.
The Strengths Deployment Inventory (SDI 2.0) is based on a well-researched theory of human motivation developed by psychologist and educator, Dr. Elias Porter. The theory is built on four key concepts:
- Behavior is driven by motivation.
- Motivation changes during conflict.
- Strengths can be overdone.
- Filters influence perspectives.
These insights provide a foundation for meaningful individual growth and stronger, more effective teams.
