 5.) He Did What?! Acknowledging & Adjusting Behaviors for Effective Teamwork

Designed for audiences of all levels.

​

Why do people have drastically different reactions to situations? Are you the type who “goes with your gut” or do you want all the facts first? The way we respond isn’t by chance, it’s the way we’re wired – and (spoiler alert!) everyone you work with is wired differently. For leaders and staff to work well with one another, it’s imperative they know how they’re wired, how their team members are wired, and how they can adapt their styles to work best together.

People think and communicate differently, and with more communication channels emerging through technology, leaders need to expand their knowledge and comfort level in diverse ways of communicating.

​
