A lot has changed about how we work and do business. But one truth has remained the same – the importance of relationships.
We've all felt the benefits of building good business relationships; successful projects, faster progress, confident decisions, career opportunities and meaningful support.
We've probably all felt the effects of less-good relationships too; stilted results, miscommunication, lack of trust and a lot of frustration.
Whether it's the long-standing client who just introduced a new leader, the potential client who isn't really looking to buy right now, or the unlikely alliance that could change everything; behind every deal, launch, and partnership is people - and the way we relate to each other is at the heart of what really drives success.
So, what does it take to build successful business relationships in a world of hybrid meetings, endless emails, and fast-moving change?
That's what we're exploring with Dr Linda Papadopoulos, psychologist, academic and author, and Nina Gopal, a partner in banking and capital markets at Deloitte UK, as we ask: What's the secret to stronger business relationships?
