Managing Relationships
Holding relevant conversations to solve the issues that matter to you.
The Pain
All activities in business demand that we work with people. Our relationships with these people inevitably impact immediate and future outcomes. Business activities and how we manage them impacts the strength of necessary relationships.
We are trained to focus on getting the job done, and delivering what is required of us and the need to establish and manage good relationships with our work colleagues, customers, suppliers and key stakeholders increases.
With limited time, we have only so much personal capacity to cope with the number and intensity of key relationships. We can’t afford to neglect or avoid critical relationships and conversations. If we do, it can derail our efforts and prove to be a major risk to our business.
Some of these “pain-moments” may include a need to address:
- The relationship with your key business partner is breaking down and this presents a significant risk to your business.
- You are spending most of your time at work just dealing with people and you can’t get your work done.
- Your job has just changed and you are challenged by people you need to work with and this is affecting your performance in your new role.
- You are challenged by the demands of your key stakeholders.
- You know the team you are managing is not functioning well and there are obvious disfunctional relationships in the team which are affecting the team’s performance.
- You know you need to have a difficult conversation and it is causing you significant stress.
- Everyone around you are avoiding talking about key issues and meetings seem to go on endlessly without positive results.
- You need to put a Board in place and you are worried about losing your sense of control.
We have worked with other individuals and organisation to manage issues like these and we can help.
