Description:
|
The purpose of this session is to teach how to increase "task tension" while decreasing "relationship tension" in order to produce a more effective workplace. The seminar is geared toward improving the ability to communicate with, work with, and understand people whose styles are different from our own. Too often, "who we are" prevents us from accurately understanding and effectively relating to individuals who are different from us. This program offers a framework for recognizing behavioral types, explains the strengths and weaknesses of the various styles, and presents strategies to manage one's own behavior in ways that more effectively interact with other styles. This is a fun, eye-opening session.
