Try this survey to test your team building skills for bringing together differences…
If, more often than not, you face conflict situations when others get involved, you’ll pinpoint problems here, and should spot a possibility for your next team.
Since partnerships and teams are central to making business work well today, this survey could assist you to re-energize what I call... hybrid potential for groups.
Simply jot yes or no beside each…
1). In spite of my keenness for quality, I share workloads with others in my team.
2). I tend to bring out the best in others, by affirming their capabilities for a job.
3). Because I listen well, I hear where people come from and so I relate back well.
4). Others consider me an ideal team player because they feel validated by me.
5). In a team project, I see excellence only after others contribute along with me.
6). Diplomacy describes me so that I rarely take things personally, but want the best for groups.
7). Genuinely I show others the possibilities for more than one mind working together on any project.
8). Because I welcome diversity, people tend to vote me as project leader.
9). Rather than seeing me as opinionated or easily hurt, people view me as giving and caring.
10). I tend to laugh at my own mistakes more than most, and I help others face theirs, for the sake of team excellence.
How’d you score?
If you scored "yes," on 8 or more of the above, congratulations…you’re in the top percentiles interpersonally…
If not, don’t worry though, you can grow dendrite brain cells and reboot your cognitive map…. Simply devise one brief plan to turn around a weaker habit you spotted here today, and you begin to build a cognitive map for interpersonal ability… Skills that prosper teams of all shapes and sizes can easily start with you.
For instance, if you tended to take on all the work, or none of it in past situations, practice sharing the load in ways that value others on your next project...
Conflict is avoided with one move made by one player who motivates the group in an excellent or innovative direction… and that player could be you….
Maybe not always, but certainly often… What do you think?
