A Must Have for All Managers and Business Leaders
Dr Schluter presents an inspiring new approach based on extensive research by an expert on relationships and supported by a wealth of statistics and case studies. Relationships are at the heart of all that we do and achieve, indeed our very identity.
When relationships are neglected in a business context, Dr Schluter argue, they lead to poor health, ineffective management and low output at work. Much the same could be said of life outside the workplace.
Relationships are just fundamental – so fundamental, in fact, that we often pay little attention to them. Which is why, like most managers, you probably haven’t considered that ‘thinking relationally’ – about your organization and how it works – might unlock some of the most pressing dilemmas you face, both inside the workplace and outside it. The talk will demonstrates clearly that relational poverty affects all areas of society, and is associated with poor health, ineffective management and low output at work.
Dr Schluter will focus on 5 key components of successful relationships and how these can be achieved:
- Encounter (personal rather than impersonal contact is best)
- Storyline (strength of the relationship over time)
- Knowledge (how deeply is information shared?)
- Fairness (equal treatment and mutual respect)
- Alignment (sharing values, objectives and purpose)
You will NOT be sitting down and listening to theories and concepts. You will be kept engaged and walk away with probable solutions to your challenges on hand.

The Relational Manager has numerous glowing commendations and amongst them are:
'The Relational Manager delivers what it promises - a clear, straightforward and pragmatic guide to the importance of relationships at work. It is sensible, well judged and should provide an invaluable guide for busy executives who sometimes forget this central part of their work.'
Rob Goffee, Professor of Organisational Behaviour, London Business School
'At the heart of every worthwhile activity are people and people thrive on strong relationships. Those leaders who understand this relational agenda are already well on their way to achieving their goals. The Relational Manager offers powerful insights and practical actions to help leaders bring out the best in themselves and the people they manage. In a world of stress and sleaze, it has never been more relevant.'
Clive Mather, former Chairman of Shell UK and CEO of Shell, Canada
'Applying "relational thinking" can help explain many of the more perplexing challenges businesses face today. This book shows that these relational dimensions can be understood, measured, and that strategies can be developed to improve the "relational equity" of a business or an individual executive. I commend this book to any business leader or management team looking for fresh inspiration on how to take their business forward….'
Paul O’Donnell, Vice-Chairman, Ogilvy & Mather, Europe, Africa, Middle East
