What if we had a way to monitor the status of important relationships?
Figure 1 Measuring the ‘quality’ of Relationships
What Figure 1 shows, is a way to judge or map, the relationships we have. Note:- this will be your perception of the conductivity of the relationship and not necessarily the other person’s and it may not be the ‘truth’about the relationship, since it is a perception / belief.
I’m sure as you think about the various relationships you have, you can place them somewhere on the scale of -2 to +2. The idea is once you have the relationship mapped initially, then you can do something to improve it from say -2 Anti to -1 unhelpful. This could be useful when, for example, you consider the network you have built / are building, in your workplace / career.
It may be an idea, to never let the others see what your perception of the relationship is 🙂
- Why are relationships and the quality of them, important in the journey of you becoming you?
Make a list of the important relationships in your workplace.
- What is the current status of each of them?
- What actions are needed to move negative or neutral, in a positive direction?
- What actions are needed in positive relationships to sustain them?
