Appreciating Differences
Great leadership, management and communication require the awareness of appreciating the differences among team members and peers. Our preferences, needs, wants and desires all impact how we approach our work and achievements.
This phase of leadership development is a fun, expansive area, learning about the five different communication, behaviors and approaches that achieve results but from different angles. The focus of learning is on:
- Understanding your own work style
- Understanding the style of others
- How to adapt your style to others for greater communication and impact
- Strengthening the team by understanding everyone's approach
- How to impact others by incorporating their style into your approach
- Redirecting/reducing conflict via understanding of style differences
- Incorporating new approaches for inclusive communication
We use an assessment that can be administered as pre-work or filled out together as part of a workshop. This is a powerful focus in a teambuilding event, leadership training or 1-1 coaching.
