If you’re a regular listener of Growth Igniters® Radio, you know we believe that strong, meaningful relationships matter more than ever. This is what can lead to new possibilities and opportunities for us all in the changing world. Yet, let’s face it: in the face of uncertainty, the protective instinct to keep others at arm’s length can creep in. This can result in interactions that inadvertently become mere transactions. To break the cycle, maybe it’s time to rethink common wisdoms about building relationships.
In this “Quick Take” episode, we discuss the common challenge of shifting from treating relationships as transactions to working on building truly collaborative partnerships. To begin the process, we recommend reading the book: “Plays Well with Others: The Surprising Science Behind Why Everything You Know About Relationships Is (Mostly) Wrong” by best-selling author Eric Barker. His humorous and thought-provoking style makes this a great holiday read. We also provide three immediately useful ideas for reading the book that can guide you to rethink what it could take to transform transactional connections into deeper, more meaningful relationships.
The more we appreciate the complexity of our interactions and what’s behind them, the more rewarding our relationships can be – Pam Harper
