Podcast

How to sustain and develop strategic relationships? In today’s discussion, we have your answers covered by David Nour, a relationships’ economics advisor.
[00:33] – About David Nour
- David is a Relationship Economics Advisor.
- He is an educator and an executive coach.
- David is the founder of Nour group and the author of 11 books.
[04:32] – Help me understand the meaning of “Relationship Economics”.
- In the eastern world, we first build relationships with whom we then do business. But in the western world, only if our business works, we ask for updates about family.
- I realised that there are fundamentally two camps. There is an art of business relationships. It is a science called social network analysis. It is about studying patterns in human interactions.
- Relationship Economics is the art and science of business relationships. It is about how to become more intentional in the relationships you choose to invest in.
[11:08] – How has your background supported your own coaching philosophy, values, and your style?
- The best version of every leader is typically going to come from changes and behaviour.
- The combination of my own experiences, combination of working across multiple industries across a multitude of geographies gives me a broad purview.
- I like taking some executive clients from one industry to speak to leaders from a completely different industry.
- As a technology business, you mostly deal with and read about technology. This gives a very myopic view of the tech space. In such situations, you are not looking at what is happening in industrial, manufacturing, or retail because you don’t think it is relevant.
- But what is missing is the common thread among all of these, that is, supply chain, talent, technology, and transformation.
- When you look beyond your industries, you broaden your horizons. Executives want to talk to peers and other operators who face similar challenges and opportunities.
[19:58] – What motivates you to write?
- Writing a book is never easy, but it certainly gets easier as you get into a routine.
- I often start with a question, I am genuinely curious about, and I start to read extensively.
- If you identify a topic once, it is a point. You see it several times, it is a line. If you see it several times, it is a trend. When I see a challenge or opportunity across different industries, I begin to research and have conversations for an idea to percolate in my brain.
- At some point, you have talked, coached, consulted and thought enough that you feel you have something to say.
- I keep digital and physical folders of the ideas. Books for me are not business but business cards. They become an opportunity to share your ideas and perspectives.
- My goal is to put my readers and audience to think and lead differently.
