RM Archetype Assessment v19

Six ways RMs naturally create value

Most Relationship Managers are not one type. Your profile combines all six orientations, with one or two usually playing a stronger role in how you naturally operate.

The PioneerOpens doors and turns new connections into opportunities.
The BuilderDeepens relationships and systematically expands their relevance.
The ExpertEarns relevance through knowledge, judgment and technical depth.
The StrategistGets involved early and helps clients frame important decisions.
The ConfidantBuilds the trust that brings the real conversation to the table.
The ArchitectBrings people and expertise together around complex client needs.
This is not a performance score.

It describes how you tend to create value — not whether you are a “good” or “bad” RM.

As you answer: choose what feels most natural to you and how you actually tend to operate — not what you think an effective RM should do.

RM Archetype Profile
Your RM archetype

Your value-creation signature

Your profile is built from six underlying dimensions. The chart shows how each contributes to the overall profile — not how “good” you are at each one.

Your six-dimensional profile

Each dimension maps directly to one RM archetype.

Origination — opens relationships
Development — deepens them
Expertise — strengthens the substantive answer
Influence — shapes the decision
Trust — reveals the context
Orchestration — brings the right people together

Each dimension is shown as its share of the total across all six dimensions. The radar is rescaled so the shape remains readable; no percentages or absolute performance levels are displayed.

What this result does - and does not - tell you

Your profile describes the relative orientations reflected in your answers. It does not measure ability, effectiveness, client perception or business performance, and no orientation is inherently better than another.

Does this feel like you?

Three short questions help us understand whether the result is useful and recognisable.

What next?

Go deeper

Your orientation profile is the starting point

The Full RM Diagnostic examines how these orientations appear across actual client relationships, where different orientations are used more or less consistently, where one mode of value creation may be carrying too much of the load, and what that could suggest for development and professional positioning.

The next level would examine:
  • how these orientations appear across actual client relationships;
  • where different orientations are used more or less consistently;
  • where one mode of value creation may be relied on more heavily than others;
  • what this could suggest for development and professional positioning.

Portfolio Fit would go one step further: does your current client book actually reward the way you create value?
