Episode #35 - How do you measure your relationships? (Part 3) - Declared and Undeclared Agreements: In this episode, we delve into Part 3 of "How do you measure your relationships?" focusing on Declared and Undeclared Agreements. Agreements are pivotal in any relationship, whether personal or professional. Declared agreements are conscious choices aligned with our values, shaping behaviors intentionally. On the other hand, Undeclared agreements, often unconscious and habitual, can significantly impact relationships without explicit acknowledgment.
Imagine having a friend who consistently arrives late without communication or apology. Initially feeling slighted, you may not address it, allowing the behavior to become an undeclared agreement, indirectly permitting lateness. This scenario can lead to feelings of undervaluation or disrespect over time while the late friend remains unaware of the issue.
In a professional context, similar patterns can occur where a team member consistently takes credit for collective achievements without acknowledging others. Initially frustrating, these behaviors can solidify into undeclared agreements due to unspoken expectations and boundaries.
Declared Agreements:
Declared agreements are explicit, conscious choices made through open and intentional communication. They involve proactively addressing issues to foster understanding and strengthen relationships. In personal relationships, couples practice declared agreements by openly communicating and investigating each other's feelings and needs. This proactive approach builds trust and prevents misunderstandings.
