Assuming relevant skill and competence exists, we believe that in most cases resolving any problem or challenge in an organization should start with assessing the people involved and ensure a cohesive team and mutual respect for individuals’ person and role exists.
In most cases a lack of formal awareness of personality types and their interactive dynamics exists. This could lead to counter-productive team or sometimes interdepartmental interaction.
We all tend to “treat others how you want to be treated”, in order to realize motivated individuals and teams we need to “treat others how THEY want to be treated”. This simple understanding of self and others and then focus on accommodating others wants and needs during interaction forms the basis for creating a functional and effective team.
In most cases leadership transformation and development start with a focus on self. This is achieved through 360 evaluations or personality review, we utilized formal tools conducted by licensed individuals. We then build a development process plan together with the executive and work through how these new realizations manifest and affect their leadership or management style.
Simple realization of differences in itself does not provide a solution to dysfunctional teams. Communication and talking through what the differences mean in the workplace is essential in building an environment where everyone is “OK” and where people interactions is based on trust and understanding.
