“The most important ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people” Teddy Roosevelt

We can look at people’s behaviour, but it is not the whole story.

The key to identifying “why” people do what they do.

It is far more worthwhile to understand their reason for using that behaviour, what is the intent or motivation behind it.

First steps:-

  • work well with people
  • help people feel worthwhile
  • meet them where they are at
  • build the relationship whenever you can

We always have the ability to choose our behaviour – the right tool for the right job!!  Choose what is right for the situation and the person you are with.

Relationship awareness theory is the basis of the Strength Deployment Inventory (“SDI”) written by Elias Porter.
