Discuss how "I-It" and "I-Your" relationships helped you in achieving organizational objectives.

Whether peoples lives are in peril or just a business discussion, the path to progress begins with an I-Your connection, rather than an I-It: people have to treat the other with empathy, rather than as an object. Social intelligence lies in the acknowledge of the other person as a You rather than as a It, i.e. acknowledgement of the others humanity rather than objectification. Objectification creates interpersonal distance; with their subjective experience suppressed, it is difficult for individuals to feel truly seen and understood. There is more alienation and less opportunity for meaningful connection. The I-It attitude underlies an individualist, me-first mode, one which sees others in terms of what you can do for me. Such a perspective starkly limits empathy to instrumentality, attuning only enough to understand how to get what one wants. And at the group level, the same blindered empathy leads to Us and Them thinking, accentuating differences and divisions and ignoring commonalities. The I-It is a negative attitude towards the organization where one works, which has cognitive, affective and behavioral dimensions. These negative attitudes are a belief that the organization lacks unity, a negative feeling towards the organization, and accordingly humiliating and critical behaviors towards the organization. The I-It attitude partially leads to the breach of the psychological contract regarding work-related attitudes such as work satisfaction and organizational loyalty. In contrast, the I-You stance leads to a spontaneous outlook of compassion: when we see others in an I-You way, feeling with and for them, putting ourselves in their place, and so wishing them no harm, but what is best. Rather than relegating others to Them, they are seen as part of Us, as having an innate humanity in common no matter our surface differences. When applied to various fields, I-You relationship leads to better health, learning and happiness. Healthcare compassion in medical treatment. Doctors treat patients as I You versus I It. Respect dignity of patients. Schools - creating a secure base for learning, encourage peer support (vs bullying) by encouraging group project work Prisons reduce recidivism by teaching inmates trust and communication skills (social intelligence) via teambuilding, sharing of stories, mutual mentoring, caring and peer moral support.
