Creating Meaningful Partnership at Work

Presented by:
     Seth R. Silver, Ed.D., Organizational Consultant, Silver Consulting, Inc.

“All of us work with others. Sometimes those professional relationships are important enough that we call them a ‘partnership’. But what does partnership in the workplace really mean? What makes some of our partnerships exceptional while many are mediocre, frustrating or even a disaster? And why do these work partnerships matter so profoundly to our well-being and success, regardless of our level or role?” (Meaningful Partnership at Work, 2021)

Together, we will explore three ideas from the co-authored book, Meaningful Partnership at Work. First, the mindset of meaningful partnership and how it differs from routine work associations. Next, the conceptual model, ‘ERTAP’, which stands for empathy, respect, trust, alignment and partnership. Finally, we will explore the ‘workplace covenant’, a practical yet transformative relationship-building process between any two parties at work, that ensures on-going mutual support and accountability. This engaging session delves into factors that we often take for granted in the workplace such as how people work together, the expectations we all have of colleagues, how to repair broken work relationships, and the role of two-way feedback.

What you will learn:

• Understand the three core ideas from the book and how they relate to the health and effectiveness of our new workplace.
• Learn the model, ERTAP, the research related to it, how to measure the elements, and how it can be used to help managers and teams.
• Know how to apply a new OD/HRD tool, The Workplace Covenant, to ensure ongoing ERTAP and a positive work culture
