Drive Results through Relationships

by Elaine Cercado

Talent doesn’t work alone. Relationships matter.

An organization is a fabric woven together by teams—by people interacting in big and small ways every day. The quality of those relationships determines what your organization can achieve.

Talent Effectiveness: The “Core Strengths” Approach

Talent effectiveness enables you to connect your people strategy with your strategy to deliver the company brand promise. It is achieved through a conscious commitment to:

  • Improve relationship and collaboration – Leverage differences and build trust to overcome innovation-killers while rapidly achieving goals.
  • Build better teams – Teams with resilient relationships achieve breakthrough when others breakdown. Teams with high relationship intelligence (RQ) shape the conversations that solve problems and get work done.
  • Coach for performance – Turn managers into effective coaches. Core Strengths’ real-time RQ insight elevates the manager-team relationship, allowing them to rise to challenges and respond to opportunities, together.

Why Core Strengths?

“There’s a 74% statistical correlation between quality relationships, communication patterns and the highest levels of individual performance.” – Genpact / MIT Sloan Management Review Study 2016

High-performing organizations are those comprised of positive relationships that reduce the communication breakdowns that impede performance.

Teams that apply relationship intelligence (RQ) promote healthy opposition and make timely decisions that drive better results. Leaders utilize RQ to coach team members by connecting development goals and company strategy.

Ultimately, talent effectiveness drives company results.

The Foundational Concepts

  1. Self-Awareness. Improving relationships requires beginning with self-awareness. Increased self-awareness results from greater conscious understanding of the true self, and the reduction or removal of defenses against self-understanding.  Greater self-awareness enables more clear and accurate understanding of others.
  2. Relationship Intelligence is the application of knowledge in specific settings or contexts to produce results that are meaningful to people in relationships.

Relationship Intelligence helps people to:

  • better understand past interactions, enabling a deeper understanding and appreciation of self and others
  • manage choices and perceptions in the present moment, enabling more effective behavior and communication in relationships
  • anticipate the thoughts, feelings, and actions of others, giving them greater control over the future outcomes of their relationships

These skills are essential to creating collaborative communities that foster learning, development and authentic connections to others and to work.
