LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT

Organizations run
on relationships.

We help you

develop them.

WHY THIS MATTERS

Relationships are infrastructure, not a soft skill.

The Anchor Relationships® model treats relationships as the infrastructure they are, translating generative relationships into
5 organizational performance outcomes:

Retention of
high performers

People stay where
relationships help them
grow and feel known.

Decision quality
under pressure

Honest relationships give
leaders the truth that
keeps judgment sound.

Integrity
under stress

Strong relationships hold
people to their values when
pressure would bend them.

Initiative

People take risks when
they trust someone
to back them up.

Innovation

New ideas survive when
a relationship can
hold disagreement.

BEHAVIOR MODEL

Behaviors that shape
generative relationships

The model, assessment, and training turn a vague sense of how a relationship feels into something you can see and act on. The assessment measures it, the model names the behaviors, the training develops them.

Practiced on both sides, these behaviors generate capability neither person holds alone, which raises performance and protects wellbeing.

THE TOOLS BEHIND THE PROGRAMS

Four assessments
raise awareness
across the organization.

People come to work needing to grow, to feel capable, and to stay true to what they value. These four assessments reveal how relationships make these conditions possible.

Individual Assessment

One relationship, seen from one person's perspective and measured by behavior.

Becoming Anchors

Some relationships need to perform at a high level. Discover what produces high performance in one relationship and what is quietly limiting it.

Relationship 360

How a leader's key relationships function, together.

Team Assessment

The relationships across an intact team or leadership cohort.

Grounded in Self-Determination Theory. Developed at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Louisville Center for Positive Leadership, taught at Johns Hopkins University, and helping individuals, leaders, and teams perform at their best every day.
