The ABCs of Effective Relationships
Using Common Sense Tools in Common Practice to Align Your Words and Actions for Effective Leadership

Each leader's day includes a wide range of leadership challenges that, while they seem to be diverse, have one thing in common: They require that leaders—with compassion and sensitivity&#8212communicate effectively, face-to-face, with another person. Now research focusing on tens of thousands of public and private sector leaders has generated common sense tools to help leaders and managers interact with others. The ABCs of Effective Relationships is rooted in the simple power and elegance of an Awareness of our Behavior and its Consequences—our ABCs:

  • Awareness is increased by using data collected from a unique, nonanonymous, 360-degree assessment
  • Behavior is developed by reviewing tapes of your interactions in real-world cases and role plays
  • Consequences of many important back-home interactions are planned for and monitored using a simple tool called The Behavior Minder™

Prepare for this workshop by distributing 360-degree assessment surveys to colleagues. Class time is highly interactive and experiential, featuring a lively mix of discussion, small group exercises, and videotape reviews.


Key Results

  • Build a framework for monitoring daily interactions at work through The Behavior Minder™
  • Identify the behavioral tools you currently use effectively
  • Identify the behavioral tools you need to sharpen
  • Increase the flexibility and range of behavioral tools you now use
  • Build trust and learn to handle emotionally charged situations
  • Put together and implement an effective behavioral game plan
