Modeling Strong Relationships Among Staff Members
Deeper Connections: Modeling Strong Relationships Among Staff Members is a four-minute and 20-second video that shows how using the Search Institute’s Developmental Relationships Framework consistently across organizations can build a sense of teamwork and collaboration among staff members.
Search Institute partners in the Relationships Outcome Initiative (ROI) share the ways they implement the principles of the developmental relationships framework to deepen and strengthen relationships within organizations.
Leaders in partner organizations express ways the five elements of the developmental relationships framework — Express Care, Challenge Growth, Provide Support, Share Power, and Expand Possibilities — have changed their organizations’ cultures and communications styles and deepened their missions.
