Teams365 #497: Developing Others: Relationship Management

Yesterday we started exploring Relationship Management, one facet of Emotional Intelligence. Key to success in moving up the leadership ladder is our ability to develop effective and strong relationships with others internally and externally.

Developing Others, one competencies of Relationship Management, is all about supporting the development of others. Whether it is through coaching and mentoring them, or creating new on the job opportunities for career development, this is a key trait. Many organizations today are continuing to develop agility through cross training and job rotations.

What opportunities are you seeing as valued by your team members? What opportunities can you create for them?

Consider these types of activities for developing others:

• Coaching
• Mentoring
• Job Shadowing
• Training - classroom, online, on-demand,
  
• Stepping in while you are on leave
• Leading/Coordinating special team events
• Leading meetings

What other activities would you consider as providing an opportunity for your team members' to grow and develop?

For those interested in this topic you may want to "google" terms such as informal learning and/or explore with your HR department what opportunities may exist.

With best wishes,
Jennifer
