Fostering collaboration
Getting people on board in a way that fosters collaboration
Just getting on with others in the workplace is not enough to achieving personal or organisational objectives. The ability to truly influence others and negotiate effectively is essential for building stronger working relationships that drive growth and performance. Understanding others perspectives and our own emotional intelligence is at the very heart of our abilities to persuade and influence.
Creating better working relationships happens one conversation at a time. How this happens will depend on many different factors such as current quality of stakeholder relationships, your own levels of confidence and your own awareness of how you ‘come across’ to others.
It takes a strong blend of capability and confidence to navigate away from making do with artificial harmony and lean more into difficult conversations, shape outcomes and turn challenging situations into opportunities for growth.
What our clients say about us
Dinusha De Silva-Parker, Human Resources Director, Hansen Technologies
“When Graeme outlined the GBQ questionnaire I was an eager participant as I lead a highly diverse, experienced professional team of HR business partners spread across Europe. …I was really interested in gathering feedback through a third party so that I could learn and examine how I could adjust to enable them even more in their roles – specifically I wanted to hear their group voice on what I should keep doing, where I should adjust my approach or simply not do anymore!
There were some ‘ah ha’ moments, particularly when seeing how I had assessed myself on the scale. It was a really impactful session, so much so that we will recommend that this be used in some of our leadership teams in the future.”
