Fostering collaboration
Getting people on board in a way that fosters collaboration
Just getting on with others in the workplace is not enough to achieving personal or organisational objectives. The ability to truly influence others and negotiate effectively is essential for building stronger working relationships that drive growth and performance. Understanding others perspectives and our own emotional intelligence is at the very heart of our abilities to persuade and influence.
Creating better working relationships happens one conversation at a time. How this happens will depend on many different factors such as current quality of stakeholder relationships, your own levels of confidence and your own awareness of how you ‘come across’ to others.
It takes a strong blend of capability and confidence to navigate away from making do with artificial harmony and lean more into difficult conversations, shape outcomes and turn challenging situations into opportunities for growth.
What our clients say about us
Kathryn McConnell, HR Director, Quintain
“Having worked with People Business over a number of years on a range of projects, but particularly focused on staff development, we approached the team to support us to draw up our Learning & Development strategy. The team really supported us with their expertise in this field to draw out what we were seeking to achieve, challenging us to consider timescales, budget, resource and longer term planning and finally presenting it in a format that worked for our business. The overall project was a success; the strategy was welcomed by the business and has enabled us to move forward on our L&D journey.”
