< back Dynamic equilibrium, from (im)power to strength in work relationships How a dynamic balance in working relationships can ensure that everyone can use their full potential to achieve great results together. More detailed information In his first book 'Build your dream team', author Johan De Keyser firmly stated that a high-performance team consists of strengthful personalities who are willing to work together to realize a collective dream. And that you do this on the basis of trustworthiness, in all openness and with clear agreements that team members hold each other to account while monitoring their progress. But how do you do that in everyday reality? Because in practice these qualities prove to be more difficult to implement than hoped. What are the relational dynamics that play a role in this collaboration? How do you become a strengthful personality, so that you also practice self-care? How do you deal with this as a team leader or team member? How do you find dynamic equilibrium and move from powerlessness to strength? How do you ensure equivalent relationships within a collaboration? How can you ensure that employees feel really involved, so that they enjoy realizing the set goals and dreams? In a smooth, interactive way, Johan De Keyser makes clear how a dynamic balance in working relationships can ensure that everyone, both inside and outside the organization, can use their full potential to achieve great results together. 'Dynamic Equilibrium' gives you innovative and stimulating insights that make you think, make you consciously reflect and give you the desire to get started right away.'
