They keep the environment positive by making people feel comfortable and respected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover more about the relationship-building leadership type, as read in <em>Strengths Based Leadership<\/em> by Tom Rath and Barry Conchie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-relationship-building-as-a-leader\"><strong>Relationship-Building as a Leader<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Relationship-building leadership is what helps your team perform as a cohesive whole<\/strong>. Conchie and Rath characterize this strength with sub-qualities such as optimism and compassion. For example, if you\u2019re a relationship builder, you may be able to keep your team&#8217;s spirits up during a difficult day, which ultimately helps them perform better and complete the necessary objective. You\u2019re also able to relate to individuals and mentor them to help them feel included and valuable to the team, which will help them work better together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019ll explore what relationship-building looks like by examining the success of Mervin Davies, a former CEO of Standard Chartered. He credits his success to his investment in relationships. In particular, he emphasizes a few relationship-building habits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. By communicating honestly and openly<\/strong> with his employees about the decisions he made for his company, he earned their trust, which is essential for good relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Davies also<\/strong> <strong>trusted his employees by empowering them with responsibility and freedom<\/strong>. By knowing his own capabilities and the capabilities of people around him, he was able to assign people to tasks they\u2019re suited to handle and free himself to do what he does best as an executive, coaching people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. By listening to his team,<\/strong> he got to know their strengths and deepened his relationships with them. This way, he knew how to empower individuals on his team more effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/leadership-strategy-and-tactics\/1-page-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Leadership Strategy and Tactics<\/em><\/a>, Jocko Willink similarly emphasizes the importance of communication and relationship-building on your team. Willink suggests <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/leadership-strategy-and-tactics\/1-page-summary#communicate-regularly-with-your-team\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">spending time with your team by getting to know their role<\/a> and how they feel about it. This could look like a casual conversation with your teammate, or you might even ask them to physically teach you what they do. By doing this, you and your teammates will better understand each other&#8217;s perspectives, which will in turn build trust and strengthen your relationships, as Gallup and Davies recommend. Similarly, learning more about your teammates\u2019 roles may also help you better understand their strengths so that you can offer them more responsibility.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-actionable-respect-your-relationships-and-help-people-feel-valued\">Actionable: Respect Your Relationships and Help People Feel Valued<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you\u2019re a leader who builds relationships<\/strong>, you\u2019re likely someone whom people trust and confide in. Thus, you\u2019re a vessel for sensitive information about others. The authors emphasize that you should respect this privilege and honor the people who trust you by keeping their conversations between the two of you. When people know they can trust you, your relationships will deepen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you have a relationship builder on your team<\/strong>, take advantage of their ability to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-make-people-feel-valued\/\">make others feel valued<\/a>. Connect them with other key people that you\u2019d like to keep in your organization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Build Relationships on Common Ground<\/strong><br><br>One meaningful way to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/eckhart-tolle-relationships-how-to-be-present\/\">connect with others<\/a> is to be open about the stress you\u2019re going through. In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-upside-of-stress\/1-page-summary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Upside of Stress<\/em><\/a>, Kelly McGonigal explains that people are often hesitant to be open about their stress because they feel like what they\u2019re experiencing is uncommon and that they\u2019ll be judged for it. However, if you <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-upside-of-stress\/1-page-summary#connect-with-others\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">normalize stress by discussing it openly<\/a> and being honest with others about your personal stress, you\u2019ll make your team feel comfortable opening up to you in return. By cultivating an open environment for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/honest-conversations\/\">honest conversations<\/a>, you can make your team feel comfortable enough to tell you whether the responsibilities you\u2019ve delegated to them are overwhelming.<br><br>Additionally, you can deepen relationships by effectively <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/importance-of-feedback-in-the-workplace\/\">listening to your team<\/a>. Conchie and Rath mention that understanding your team will help you determine what role is best fit for them, which can help you mentor and coach them more effectively. To understand your team members more fully, you can also <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/how-to-win-friends-and-influence-people\/likability-5#tactics\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">do some research on their backgrounds and interests<\/a>. For example, you could read their LinkedIn profile, ask them how they enjoy spending their time, or ask them about their goals and how you can help them achieve them.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is relationship-building important in leadership?
