Employee surveys – Part 4 We want more positive feedback
And just as often, managers say:
“But I give plenty of feedback.”
So who is right? Both. And neither.
Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) is a scientifically based tool developed by Elias H. Porter in the 1970s and has been further refined for today’s needs. It is based on Relationship Awareness Theory and helps individuals understand their own and others’ motivations, communication styles, strengths, overdone strengths, and approaches to conflict management.
In 2013, Dr. Tim Scudder published a dissertation that further validated the method’s effectiveness and its application in leadership, self-leadership, team development, and organizational transformation.
“A tool for the person, not about the person,” as Porter said.
Relationship Intelligence (RQ) is the ability to understand and adapt to different relational dynamics, which is at the core of SDI.
By developing RQ, you enhance your ability to:
• Build stronger and more sustainable relationships both at work and in personal life.
• Communicate more effectively in all situations.
• Navigate and manage conflicts in a constructive way.
• Achieve better results through well-functioning relationships.
SDI is an invaluable tool for leaders, teams, and organizations, people aiming to improve collaboration and performance.
With SDI and RQ, you gain a deeper understanding of how and why we act the way we do – both when things are going smoothly and in high-pressure situations.
