With the uncertainty that still exists around, “what’s next”, COVID, flu season, war, threats, politics, and how we work, leaders are looking, more and more, to coaches for a dependable, reliable, impartial, skill enhancing, confidential relationship that can form part of their personal Board of Directors.
Working on building a real team requires that team members get to know more about each other and the faster, the better… Using assessments to create a view like this, makes it easier for everyone to understand and adapt to everyone else on the team, improve together and do it more quickly than a year's worth of "water cooler" chats!
What struck me about what we learned was that we - leaders, managers, recruiters, HR - can learn how to communicate with, understand and incorporate people into our teams, who have different thinking preferences and behave differently than we do. What’s more is that doing so will strengthen a team’s ability to generate new solutions, solve tough problems, keep a breast of change, etc.
