Building High-Performing Teams
Relationships make or break team success.
Beyond all the strategies for team performance are the relationships that hold them together. Relationship Intelligence (RQ) is the metric that matters most but often gets addressed least.


RQ takes teamwork to a higher level.
High-performing teams are paramount to the success of your organisation, but teams can’t reach their potential amid conflict and communication breakdowns. Whatever a team is struggling with–decision making, too much-shared history or not enough, personality differences–Relationship Intelligence (RQ) gives them a head start on collective productivity.
RQ shows individuals their own and their colleagues’ motives, strengths, and values, giving them the tools to adjust their communication approach for more effective interactions.


The benefits of implementing RQ:
- Better decision-making
- Increased productivity
- Greater retention
- Less conflict
- Higher engagement
- Less burnout
- More leaders emerge
- Improved reputation within the community
- More collective grit, tenacity, and commitment
These are the tools for building high-performing teams.
Even the best collaboration technology doesn’t guarantee collaboration.
Just because teams are having a conversation doesn’t mean it’s a productive one. Through our assessment, training, and platform, your teams will use RQ to improve the content of their conversations and reduce conflict.
Core Strengths Platform
Our platform gives teams access to RQ in each interaction, so people don’t have to guess their way through relationship dynamics.
SDI 2.0 Assessments
Each person on the team can measure their motives, response to conflict, strengths, and weaknesses overdone strengths—and learn how they relate to their colleagues.
In-House Workshop
We teach your teams how to use RQ as a shorthand for communication and apply it in real situations, so they can navigate conflict and reclaim productivity.
