In a New Yorker cartoon, a bored-looking couple are sitting apart on a couch, facing a smiling therapist who says, “Any healthy relationship requires fundamental acting skills.” Clearly that therapist doesn’t believe in the Michelangelo Effect. That’s where couples who affirm and support each other’s better sides are able “sculpt” each other in mutually beneficial ways. They become deeply committed and enjoy fresh experiences and learning – through and with their partner. Reading this research, it dawned on me that the behaviors that build sustainable marriages could also help Opportunity Maker-style leaders model the relationship-building behaviors that inspire colleagues to optimize their talents for each other and their organization.
