Relationship Intelligence
The Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) is a self assessment tool that reveals why you do what you do and how you can do it better. It measures your motivational values and cores strengths, as well as your preferred communication and conflict-resolution styles. The SDI is the foundation of Core Strengths®, an approach that helps you choose the right strengths to use in high-stakes situations.
IMPORTANCE OF SDI 2.0
Based on a solid scientific foundation, the SDI 2.0 explains and simplifies the complex dynamics of relationships. Rather than focusing on WHAT we do, Core Strengths SDI 2.0 assessment helps us understand WHY we behave and HOW we relate to each other. Using Relationship Intelligence (RQ), the SDI 2.0 provides a common language for understanding what’s important. Relationship building is more than a soft skill, and the SDI 2.0 plays a direct role in helping us relate to others – building our ability to improve dialogue.
With a focus on our Motives, the SDI 2.0 provides a critical connection to a key leadership skill – the “art of influence”. It is easier to communicate with and influence someone when what’s important to them is understood. This insight helps you choose the best approach for engaging people whose thinking and behavior appear much different from your own.
When your SDI 2.0 results are connected between members of your team – the insight is multiplied. Team views of the SDI 2.0 results reveal the collective balance of motives, conflict and strengths needed to raise the right issues, make strong decisions and keep the work flowing.
