The Relational Manager

Relationships are at the heart of all that we do and achieve, indeed our very identity. When they are nourished, there is room for human flourishing. When they are neglected, health, productivity, efficiency, and individual happiness suffer. This is the core of all Schluter’s research. The Keep Sunday Special Campaign, Credit Action, and Concordis are applications of this Relational Theory.

The Relational Manager looks at relationships in the context of business, community, and everyday life, including communications, management, money, and security. Supported by a wealth of statistics, research, and background information, Schluter demonstrates clearly and persuasively that relational poverty affects all areas of society, and is associated with poor health, ineffective management, and low output at work.

“In an age of fast-paced, competitive, high-tech business, The Relational Manager reminds us of what really matters: old-fashioned relationships. With concrete examples, specific suggestions and clear writing, The Relational Manager outlines how business leaders can be more effective in building a strong, relational workplace environment.”
