Relationships matter. They determine whether we leave or stay, whether we feel safe enough to learn, change, and take risks, and whether we put in the level of discretionary effort many growing, ambitious consultancies depend on.
Interestingly, it is also the part of leadership where leaders consistently overestimate their capability. Repeatedly, they fall into a series of traps: being toxically nice, choosing between people and performance, and relying on the mission and energy of the endeavour to do the relationship job for them. Relationships, however, when mastered, are game-changing.
In this interactive session, Elke Edwards, founder of Ivy House, will cover:
- the self-perception trap
- the relationship reality check
- the ABC of relationships.
This is a talk for leaders committed to building intentional relationships. It is the final session in The Leader Series. TCGN members can watch previous sessions on the Growth Hub.
