Relational Intelligence 4+

Relational Intelligence builds relational leaders and inclusive organizations
In a digitally interconnected world learning to work with at a distance, we know that workforces and workways will be even more diverse in the future. In this business context organizations depend on their leaders’ ability to relate to different work cultures, styles and ways as well as to different workforce groups and people. Training leaders to connect and relate to people in a digital and distant working world will be a key success factor for any organization wanting to stay in business.
For this reason, we have designed RQ - a microlearning tool for leaders and managers. RQ supports organizations to obtain their diversity and inclusive targets by focusing on fostering relational and inclusive leadership skills. Research shows that when inclusion is important on an individual leadership level, inclusion develops at an organisational level. The relevance of inclusion at an individual level is a precursor for inclusion to happen at organisational level.
RQ helps organisations to transform into inclusive workplaces by preparing their leaders to build relational intelligence and inclusive leadership skills. How does this work?
RQ asks one business and leadership related reflection question per day for 30 days in a row. The question is an ask to reflect on, connect with and relate to a typical work situation with a new and critical standpoint. Critical reflections bring new perspectives to life and enable new ways of thinking and doing. Transformation happens when old ways of thinking is replaced with new ways of understanding and doing. RQ implicitly supports organizational transformation towards inclusion by explicitly encouraging leaders and managers to rethink their day to day leadership performance.
With only a 10-minute-training per day, RQ boosts leaders’ and managers’ informal learning on the job. A series of 30 10-minute-reflections per day enhances relational and inclusive leadership skills that prepare leaders to better relate to diverse workforces and workways.
If you believe more leaders and managers in your organization need to expand and enhance their leadership into a relational one in order to be relevant, inspirational and inclusive, please contact us for more information at camilla.rundberg@evenodds.se.
