Communication & Style

Common Profiles: What are your strongest Teamstyles?

While there are common combinations of styles that occur frequently, it must be acknowledged that individuals are unique; hence it is incorrect to be prescriptive. A DIRECTOR IMPLEMENTER FINISHER will communicate quite differently from a DIRECTOR EXPLORER (even though they both have DIRECTOR within their profile). There are endless permutations of characteristics within those styles.

Building better team dynamics?

Effective communication is necessary if a team is to be successful and meet its objectives. How do we define good communication? What are the blockages to communication? How can poor communication cause conflict in a team? We often think of communication as talking and forget the importance of listening…. but is it this simple?

Overcoming communication dissonance

It is easy for teams who do not understand the ramification of style, to find communication dissonance occurring. An understanding of style will ensure that the communication potential of a team is met.  Clearly there is a productivity improvement because of this.
