What if every person in life came with an instruction manual? That would be a dream – right? Imagine how much healthier your relationships would be. We can’t offer you a manual but what we can tell you is that our team has been using a powerful tool called Strength Deployment Inventory, also known as SDI, that helps you understand what makes people tick both when things are going well and when they are in conflict.
This last week our team spent a week with some of the top psychologist and behavioral experts in the nation, as they presented their research based on this powerful tool. Here is a glimpse of what learned…
- Behavior is driven by motivation to achieve self-worth
- Motivation changes in conflict
- Personal strengths when overdone can be perceived as weakness
- Personal filter influence perceptions of self and others
This tool helps you recognize that you can and do choose your behavior based on your underlying values, while also being able to take into account what others value. Again, we can’t give you a manual to every person in your life but we can equip you to better understand what makes them tick. The journey with SDI has been both powerful and effective.
