Intro to Relationships & 1:1s

Why do we build Relationships? Ask this question to the participants. Try to access how much they understand about the importance of collective versus individual action. To build Relational Commitment To build capacity—you can’t work alone To build power—the ability to get things done.

Risks of working alone….. 30 seconds (4m 00s) So what about the ‘loan ranger’? Why are they the only one people in the system to go to? Just think for a minute, have you ever felt that sense of frustration that you can’t get access easily, the powerlessness to act on your own? Would anyone admit to being a bit of a ‘lone ranger’? What drives you? Lack trust in others perhaps, fear of sharing ‘the power’? Do you find yourself over committing? Have we built real, sustainable leadership capacity in the system? Are we really enabling other leaders in the system? What would happen if the ‘lone ranger’ disappeared?

Why Build Relationships? To build relational commitment What is a relationship anyway.? It is a commitment of that is based on a shared past or a shared future. This commitment is the glue to holding the whole snowflake together. In this theory of change, it is the power of the collective that yields the change. It is not hierarchical authority or financial incentives. We build relationships for the purpose of harnessing the resources that are enabled through the commitments that we make to each other towards our shared purpose. Have any of you ever gotten involved in something you really care about but then you had to give it up midway because of your home or work or kids or whatever? Would you have given this up if you knew that someone was specifically counting on you, would you let them down? Probably not. Hence, our point that relational glue is the basis for building collective power. Commitment to the cause or the idea is not enough. Commitment to a relationship is bigger, deeper. This is the difference between commitment to a cause versus commitment to a person.

Why Build Relationships Why Build Relationships? To build capacity (power): the ability to achieve your purpose Develop leadership to build a team Leadership Purpose Build a community based on shared values and purpose Power Relationships enable you to build capacity: First by distributing the work through the recruitment and development of a leadership team (thru 1:1 meetings) Then by building a community that shares your values and is willing to act collectively to help achieve your shared purpose And then by creating the POWER you need to make the change that you want. Build power to take collective action for real change

What is a relationship? Relationship as Interest Interests Interests Commitment (In this slide, it is best to use an example from your own experience where you have established a relationship with someone that was based upon a common set of interests and values. Illustrate how the relationship, itself, became a resource because of the person’s commitment to you. Your interests are aligned and because of this, your resources grow. How does this work? Think of a time when someone you have a relationship with asks you to help them do something that comes easily for you but it hard for them. Aren’t you inclined to share your resources, skills, talents based on your shared commitments? Most of us do this willingly. The commitment is the organizer’s key resource.) Me My interests My resources You Your interests Your resources Exchange: Time Coaching Advice My contacts-her contacts Commitment—it is a resources that keeps on growing—as the commitment grows—the relationship itself becomes an interest and resource. As the relationship grows so does our capacity—as we agree to pool our resources. The relationship is always a work in progress and needs to be maintained but if it is established based upon a firm foundation of interests, values and commitments, it can be a resource that grows with time.
