This is the outer intelligence we use to

read , sense, understand and manage

our relationships with other people

This is the inner-intelligence we use to know, understand

and motivate ourselves

Appreciate individual skills, knowledge and capabilities

Make time to get to know them and actively listen to what they have to say

You don’t have to be ‘best mates’ to have a good relationship

Seek early solutions when you disagree Create social time Give feedback Seek opinions Support when times are tough Recognise individuality Show courtesy

Character Competencies

A Simple Route Cause Analysis

1.Why ?2.Why ?3.Why ?4.Why ?5.Why ?

Four Guiding Principles:

1.       Every system works to some degree; seek out the positive, appreciate the "best of what is."

2.     Knowledge generated by the inquiry should be applicable; look at what is possible & relevant.

3.     Systems are capable of becoming more than they are, and they can learn how to guide their own evolution -- so consider provocative challenges & bold dreams of "what might be."

4.     The process & outcome of the inquiry are interrelated and inseparable, so make the process a collaborative one.
