For years in workshops, GCologists have run an exercise called My Impactful Relationships. The idea is simple but powerful:
1. Identify your top three impactful relationships, not necessarily your friends, your boss, nor the people you like most, but those relationships you must get right to achieve your objectives.
2. Pick one, sit down with that person, and explore the below questions through the lens of your GC Index profiles :
- Why is this an impactful relationship?
- Where will we add value to each other?
- Where will we clash?
- Where do we need to cut each other some slack?
- What will happen if we don’t get this right?
This approach allows people to understand where they complement and where they frustrate each other all without it feeling personal and making the relationship more impactful!
