We know that to build a fantastic team synergy, it is crucial that everyone, in their uniqueness, is better understood, appreciated, and feels included and valued. This makes a healthy, positive, and conducive workplace with improved team morale, cohesiveness, engagement, and productivity. This also enhances tolerance and understanding of each other and is an enabler for better teamwork.
However, the reality is that our work environment does affect us. Some people may feel underestimated, undervalued, or even misjudged. A part of this boils down to being able to communicate effectively, to our mindset, perceptions, actions and reactions of ourselves and others around us.
When we realise this, we understand that what we do or don’t do or say, affects ourselves and others. The other way round is also true. While we communicate and act or react with more awareness and focus on positive behaviours within ourselves and each other, we will influence more of the same.
You will walk away with a new understanding of how clarity is achieved by different people and how to communicate at the next level to avoid conflicts. You will never communicate in the same way.
It goes without saying therefore that knowing yourself and understanding others in your team becomes an enabler of a cohesive and productive team.
Importantly, understanding your top emotional drivers will guide you to make better decisions which aligned more to your authentic self, leading to a more fulfilled life.
