Imagine that your business sits on top of a three-legged foundation—a tripod, if you will, similar to a photographer’s tripod. Imagine that each leg represents a specific set of relationships. The tripod can support your business—and even be adjusted to higher heights—only if each relationship is equally strong and balanced.
If you’re a leader, this means that these three relationships are your number one priority (In fact, we believe all leaders are a relationship managers). We have come to call this concept the Working Relationship Tripodsm, and the Power of Three
It is in the care and feeding of these three relationships through the choices you make that you have the opportunity to create an environment that breeds success in all measures: Intellectually and emotionally by providing challenge and opportunity, physically through providing ample living and good working conditions, and spiritually by providing the means to make a significant contribution.
To make better relationship management choices, first you have to take an honest, thorough look at your current.
