TA V RELNAL

 A

Here’s a clear comparison table between transactional and relational (the most common and useful opposite):

Aspect	Transactional	Relational
Focus	Short-term exchanges; immediate needs	Long-term connection and trust
Motivation	“What do I get?”	“How do we grow together?”
Time horizon	Brief, event-based	Ongoing, continuous
Interaction style	Task-oriented, efficient, minimal	Personal, invested, empathetic
Value measure	Success = completed exchange	Success = strength of the relationship
Communication	Functional, concise	Open, warm, exploratory
Commitment	Low; limited to the transaction	High; extends beyond specific exchanges
Examples	Buying a product, one-off business deal	Friendships, mentorships, partnerships

If you want, I can also tabulate transactional vs transformational, or tailor the table to business, leadership, customer service, or personal relationships.
