“In nature, nothing exists alone.”
A tree in a forest, a child in a family, a person at work. Each becomes who they are through the other. See how it is between you, from each side, and tend it together.
A way to pay attention
The difference between views is not a problem to settle. It is where the conversation starts.
For each of you, and for the whole you belong to.
Each person says it in their own words, from where they stand.
Start where your views differ. Nobody has to be proved right.
Come back to it. The relationship changes, and so does the picture.
The open door
Start with the relationship in front of you. Make room for each view.
At work
Relationships at work, alongside roles, goals and performance agreements.
Between organisations
For organisations and the partnerships they form together.
Coming soon
Nothing exists alone. Yet we forget it, and live as if our growth were ours to achieve by ourselves. We need simple ways to see past ourselves to what lies between us. That is why we built this.
The Relational Imperative
That only works if people can speak freely. So four things hold.
You write your own view, in your own words. Change it whenever you like.
What you say about a relationship is seen by the people in it and your team's lead.
Nothing you say about a relationship is used in a performance review.
The picture shows where you see things differently. It never decides who is right.
