Play On Their Strengths: Building a High-Performing Team
If teams and organizations are to function at their best, the diverse talents and styles of team members must be blended, capitalized upon, and appreciated. The failure to achieve these goals results in simmering conflicts, wasted talents, and diminished motivation. On the other hand, a harmonious team gets things done that no star talents can individually accomplish. (Harmony means different notes blended beautifully together.)
This workshop opens the eyes of leaders to the impact of diverse communication styles, personalities, values, and other competencies, providing realistic methods for producing synergy among them. Here’s a sample of what participants will take away. They’ll:
- learn how to identify and fully utilize the differing gifts and talents of team members;
- build skill in “reading” the behavioral and communication styles of others, putting those skills to work in improved communication, motivation, and performance;
- understand the six key values that energize individuals and how to make these work for the team;
- develop insight into their own likes and dislikes in team members, and learn why they often need most those they like least;
- find ways to inspire team members to appreciate and celebrate differences rather than judging them;
- identify key leadership strategies for bringing out the best in people with varying personality styles, thereby creating energized, high-performing teams.
