Relationship Management

Ever had a distinctive feeling between the managers and you being a junior? Well this is a type of relationship which differentiates everyone in the organization in terms of experience, the position held. One of the learning that i hold back in me primarily from my internship is that the people working in that organization are all referred to as "members" and not employees or employer. This clearly indicated that though there are different positions held by the people in the company, they are all equally connected.

In this context there is a term DYAD relationship, which means the relationship that exists between two members of different levels in an organization. Wikipedia defines DYAD as "a noun used to describe a group of two people. "Dyadic" is an adjective used to describe this type of communication/interaction". As the relationship gets stronger between people of various hierarchies, this would help member engagement to strengthen, which in turn leads to the overall growth.
