As the hauntingly beautiful strains of violin and cello filled the air during the reopening of Notre Dame, the audience was reminded of the timeless mastery required to evoke such profound emotion. This moment, steeped in both history and artistry, serves as a powerful metaphor for the craft of relationship management.

Yet, in today’s corporate culture, where efficiency and metrics dominate, the art of relationship management risks being drowned out—its melody fading into the background.
