From a GLAS Method perspective, Shaping Relationships begins with Self Acceptance and Harnessing Awareness. Leaders shape relationships first through how they show up — their tone, presence, assumptions, and responses. Awareness of impact precedes effective influence.
The practice is strengthened through Trust Conversations, Challenging Conversations, and Strong Connections. Leaders model open dialogue, address tension early, and clarify expectations. GLAS reframes difficult conversations as relational investments rather than risks.
Finally, Shaping Relationships supports Alignment, Energy / Vitality, and Compound Impact. When relationships are aligned and healthy, energy is not wasted on politics or avoidance. Collective effort compounds toward shared goals.
