Introduction to MBS®
...and why relationships are so important...
We hear from several of our customers that top management is increasingly prioritizing healthy relationships. This is often expressed in priorities such as well-being, psychological safety, well-being, collaboration, etc.
There is no doubt that there has been a change in the market. As experienced consultants, we remember when wellbeing was a soft fluffy thing and collaboration was a team building exercise in a forest.
Collaboration and relationships are no longer "just" a team building exercise. It has become a strategic competitive parameter. And why is that?
Global competition, technological development, big data, trade barriers, and demands for rapid and more complex change mean that collaboration, personal integrity and strong relationships are no longer nice-to-have. It's a strategic necessity.
Especially in knowledge-intensive organizations, it's crucial that leaders can collaborate agilely and effectively. A lack of insight into our own biases and inappropriate patterns risks making us inflexible. And that affects collaboration, innovation, well-being and results.
Generation Z also expects leaders who understand people, show empathy and create a workplace with psychological safety. This requires leaders who dare to show both strength and authenticity and can set the framework for a culture where openness, honesty and respect are natural elements of everyday life.
But how do you transform these soft concepts into concrete behavior?
From values on paper to strong relationship skills in everyday life
At Mind Balance System, we help you transform collaboration, well-being and mental health from strategic buzzwords to real action. The MBS method is based on a unique Relationship Analysis and a targeted video training program that develops the relationship skills that create strong collaborations and better results through your leadership style.
By scoring a Relationship Analysis, our certified MBS consultants can help managers identify the needs that can hinder honest and open communication. Often these needs are unconscious, but they can cause us to communicate or react unbalanced. Either by putting on the brakes and holding back our own thoughts and feelings. Or by stepping on the accelerator too hard - to the annoyance of ourselves and those around us.
By scoring a Mind Balance Relationship Analysis, already after your 1st session with a certified Mind Balance Consultant you will become aware of not only your behavior, but also the unconscious needs that drive your behavior. This means that you now have an opportunity to change the cause behind your behavior. And that makes it easier for you to create lasting behavioral change.
How the MBS® method works
The MBS® method combines the validated Relationship Analysis with a video-based training program. The aim is to strengthen the leader's ability to create honest, authentic and respectful relationships.
By integrating MBS into your organization you get:
- Stronger leaders and employees - with greater insight into their own and others' behavior
- Better work culture - with higher engagement and psychological safety
- Increased innovation and efficiency - when relationships work, creativity and collaboration are enhanced
- Less stress and greater well-being - a work environment where people develop in interaction with each other.
-Relationships drive results. When managers and employees master the human dynamics, it not only creates better collaboration - but also a better bottom line.
3 steps to stronger collaboration
1️⃣ Start with an MBS Relationship Analysis - get clarity on your behavior and drivers in a specific situation
2️⃣ Receive personal feedback - understand how you can strengthen collaboration
3️⃣ Get a tailored training plan - and implement concrete tools in everyday life from our video training program.
If these 3 steps make sense to you and you work in HR or as an external management consultant; then you might be interested in becoming a certified MBS Consultant.
Together we can build healthy relationships and create workplaces where people thrive even better.
The Mind Balance System Relationship Analysis differs from other tools by addressing a specific issue and the feedback is very concrete and useful.
