You Must Know to Grow!
You must know in order to grow, and with growth, it should always be happening. It is essential to not only reflect inwardly but to get to know who you’re working with.
For most, we spend more time with our team than we do with our families. Though we are working together towards an ultimate goal, we are also humans, and relationships and bonding are invaluable when everyone is needed to truly level up. Any misconceptions between team members can cause disruptions that may impact productivity and morale. By taking simple steps to understand each team member's individual strengths, communication style, and behavior patterns, you can create a much more efficient and cohesive team. Let’s quickly take a look at what each assessment is and why it is beneficial. You will only need about 20 minutes of uninterrupted time to complete both assessments.
