Managing Critical Relationships as a Leader
Manage episode 411549164 series 3550467
“What’s the value-add for each and every interaction?”
According to Daniel, this is a critical question every leader should ask about interactions with customers.
But it doesn’t just apply to customers. Leaders have four critical relationships to manage, and each one has different needs, concerns, and desired outcomes.
Managing these four relationships can make leaders feel stretched in multiple directions at once. As Peter points out, a leader who is focused on addressing the boss’ needs will still feel pulled toward direct reports, peers, and customers.
It is possible to successfully navigate the different needs of each relationship–without being pulled apart in the process!
Tune in to learn:
- What each relationship needs most from a leader
- Why taking the time to address peer needs and peer learning is so critical to collaboration
- The biggest trap you can fall into if you don’t treat each relationship uniquely
Plus, insight into why we don’t remember everything, and memories about epic Koosh Ball battles.
