Understanding Behaviour

"Were we fully to understand reasons for other people's behaviour, it would all make sense".

Understanding Behaviour - A Transactional Analysis Model

 Overview

 Building effective relationships colleagues is crucial to the success of any organisation. But what is an effective relationship? It is not one where you always get along but it is one where both parties feel able to raise concerns, where communication is open, where both have respect, rapport and trust and where both work in the interest of the customer.

Building effective relationships is a long process and not a one time event or strategy. An outstanding manager and employee are identified not only by their professional acumen but also by the ability to read and understand people effectively. No matter what your profession everyone needs to communicate well and build quality relationships with those who work with him or her.

Alongside this organisations only function with the cooperation of their members. Everyone knows that ineffective organisations can be frustrating and unproductive with a high level of energy expended. If you understand what people want and people understand what you expect off them you will usually find a way to make progress, High quality relationships make people happy, happy people are productive and productive people create quality results.
