THE RELATIONSHIP MODEL® IN PRO CORO CANADA
People live and work within relationships. Relationships are the human operating system. In order to make our lives and our work successful and fulfilling, we need to apply the natural principles of relationships by establishing the values, structures and the processes of relationships throughout our organization.
In the Relationship Model values, structure and processes form the basis of governance, leadership, management and service delivery. The roles of governance, leadership and management differ, but the principles that underlie them are the same. There is a continuity of design from Pro Coro Canada’s membership to the point where both the audiences and the choir benefit from the music of the organization.
A successful working environment is one in which there is a balance between the fulfillment of the individuals doing the work and the fulfillment of the customers for whom the work is done. The organization itself is like the fulcrum of a seesaw that supports the dynamics of the process of maintaining this delicate and dynamic balance of fulfillment benefiting both staff and customers.
Putting emphasis on healthy relationships means investing a great deal of attention on the values, the structures and the processes that make up relationships. We have all observed that healthy and fulfilled men and women are more productive than unhealthy, dysfunctional people are.
Understanding how to build and maintain healthy working relationships is critical for successful management of human and financial resources. The basic design of relationships is disarmingly simple. Yet the application of these values, structures and processes is a lifelong experience, and a complex one at that. It is necessary to maintain a focus on the design of relationships in order to succeed at living out the Relationship Model.
Pro Coro Canada's Governance Manual applies the values, structure and processes of The Relationship Model to Pro Coro Canada, particularly within the Board of Directors and between the Board and the Executive Director and the Artistic Director. This Governance Manual is a companion document to the Constitution and Bylaws of Pro Coro Canada, the statement of relationship between the Province of Alberta and the members of Pro Coro Canada and the relationship between the members and the Board of Directors.
