Developing Relationship Skills
RocheMartin defines Emotional Intelligence by a set of 10 competencies and this is one in a series of blogs covering each one.

The Relationship Skills competency focuses on the attitudes we take into our relationships, that lead to collaborative partnerships!
The 3 components of Relationship Skills are:
Equality
Treating everyone as your equal. No better, no worse. No judgement. We may be different, but we're all equal.
Mutuality
Always aiming for win-win relationships. How can we all get something we want from the relationship?
Empowerment
Creating the opportunity for shared contribution, control and responsibility that leads to buy-in and motivation to work together.
