Status Dynamics
What is Status? Power.
Wherever there are two or more people in contact, there is a relationship. Wherever there is a relationship there is a status dynamic. it is unavoidable.
Status transactions go on between people all the time, strongly influencing personal effectiveness and the culture and productivity of your organisation.
Taking the right status postiion is essential when presenting, leading, coaching, mentoring and negotiating. It drives credibility and authority and also the capacity to be accessible and responsive.
Service cultures cannot succeed when the patterns of entrenched status go unacknowledged in the hierarchy.
if you want to win in the relationship game, it is important for you and your people to understand status and how a flexible approach to status dynamics creates healthy relationships. In turn, this will help improve all communications with clients and customers.
People with good relationship skills fear neither high nor low status. They have a strong sense of self and the capacity to change their status as required.
