The elephant in the room in most organizations is people conflict in leadership teams.

But is there a reliable way to “fix” this?

We all have Needs to be treated or behaved toward in specific ways by those we work closely with. We call these Relationship Needs.

When our Relationship Needs are not met, we take offense at others. Over time, these interpersonal conflicts turn into organizational symptoms:

• Open friction and skirmishes

• Failure to interact, poor communication and morale

• Reduced collaboration and lower morale

• Blown deadlines, decision-making paralysis

• Territory wars, blame cultures, “politics”

• Duplication of efforts

• Absenteeism and churn

Once we see how these bad relationships affect us all, we can’t unsee it.

Now there is a simple way to restore the Relationship Health of your organization.

Relationship Needs Training.

With Relationship Needs Training, inside of weeks leadership teams can understand how to behave in ways that won’t annoy and tick each other off.

Only once the friction and conflict are managed, can we reach our potential.

How Fast Can We Do This?

A 30-minute online assessment creates a Relationship Needs report. In a one-hour meeting we get to see our own Needs - and have our team member’s Needs explained.

Relationship-changing aha moments will result and make a real difference in how our people individually get along and perform as teams.

There is no slight-of-hand magic here. There are just very specific behaviors that we all need to feel okay in our relationships. Once we understand what’s needed, it’s generally not that hard to deliver it.

It would take two to three years of working closely with someone to get this level of insight about the people we work with.

Based on Proven, Well-Documented Behavioral Science.

This one-of-a-kind Relationship Needs assessment is based on empirical research that has been continuously validated for over seventy years. It is the proven behavioral science of The Birkman Method, once called “the best-kept secret of big business” by the Chairman of the Board of The Ford Motor Company.

The Book Gives Us A GPS For Our Love Relationships

Relationship Needs apply at home even more so than at work. That’s why we wrote a book for couples.

• Become fluent with Relationship Needs at home this will translate to better navigating their work relationships, too.

of this approach. But now, after three years
of working in a place where we literally
