Comprehensive executive coaching with FocalPoint Business and Executive Coach of Racine, Wisconsin, Kerrie Hoffman, includes helping executives understand vital relationships with their dynamics in a successful and functional business.

To begin assessing your business relationships, we will briefly elaborate on the dynamics of critical relationships in business.

A Quick Look At Omni-Directional Relationship Building

In FocalPoint’s world-renowned business growth coaching, we describe the ideal system of maintaining harmonious business relationships as Omnidirectional relationship building. Omnidirectional encompasses all business relationships – from bosses to staffers, vendors, and customers.

There are five foundational principles in Omni-directional relationship building:

• Honesty: being candid establishes you as trustworthy in your workplace.
• The Constancy of Purpose: building and maintaining relationships requires continuous and meaningful effort.
• Knowledge: understanding the values and goals of another person will foster a more stable connection.
• Balance: the power imbalances among staff should be recognized.
• Shared objectives – having similar personal and professional goals allows you to establish mutually beneficial relationships.

Corporate Relationship Mapping

Corporate relationship mapping is a way to identify and understand the foundation of corporate relationships based on your position within a company. As a business owner or executive, you give your staff direction and hold them accountable; your manager directs and holds you responsible as a staff member. As a peer, you work with your peers to accomplish objectives but have no authority over them. Finally, as a business owner, vendors are accountable to you, but you aren’t authoritative over them.

How to Manage Diverse Omni-Directional Relationships

• Diversify your relationships – be open to networking outside of your business. The more people you meet, the more possibilities and opportunities are available.
• Give more than you get – help someone else with a task, link people with others, or share industry and nonprofit-sector information. Along with being benevolent, being helpful gives you an advantage in different communities.
• Spend quality time – time is a valuable resource, and spending time with the staff and customers who contribute the most to the business grants you support and will help you in times of challenges.
• Understand the corporate landscape – observe and seek understanding of the roles and responsibilities of bosses, managers, employees, and staff to understand your role among them.
• Maintenance required – periodic check-ins in relationships are integral in maintaining those relationships.
