WHY IS EI IMPORTANT?

CONNECTED COLLABORATION
When people discover how to harness what drives their personal performance, they not only take ownership for their choices, but they begin to appreciate differences in others and build trust. Together, teams learn to create quality interactions where problems get solved and work gets done.
BUILD BETTER TEAMS
Teams composed of strong relationships are less likely to have communication breakdowns. Focused on conversations where work gets done, teams with relationship intelligence promote healthy opposition to quickly see all sides of an issue, so they can make timely decisions that drive results.
LEAD FOR PERFORMANCE
Relationship Intelligence (RQ) provides visibility into the motives, conflict, and strengths of a team. Leaders who apply this insight will get the best of everyone’s strengths, and build a culture of resilient relationships that are responsive to challenges and opportunities.
