How well do you know your colleagues? Do you really know them? Our initial response is probably a quick "yes". It's when we slow down we discover quite a few assumptions. Help get to know them better by sharing your self-awareness "manual" in answering just six questions!
- What’s your style?
- Strengths, weaknesses OR include descriptors like energetic, compassionate, participative
- Gets people in touch with how their emotions/actions might affect others
- What do you not have patience for?
- Common triggers
- These uncover possible issues in relationships
- What do you value most in life?
- Values are decision-making principles; articulations of what we want our decisions to accomplish
- Who we are is how we lead & we always show up for what we believe in
- How can people best communicate with you?
- Give & receive feedback
- These speak to our learning modalities (listener, reader, kinaesthetic)
- How can people help you best?
- What do you ask for help with the most?
- This helps support the notion that we can’t go it alone, we need others & their gifts/talents/skills, etc.
- What do people misunderstand about you the most?
- Behaviors that come out under pressure
- These reveal our almost automatic reactions to people/events
Have the courage to model the way for a greater understanding of yourself and those you collaborate with by creating and sharing your user manual!
