Knowing your strengths and those of your team is critical for success. Negative team experiences often occur due to limited understanding and appreciation of differences. Positive experiences occur when everyone on the team understands and values the unique contributions each member can provide. In this workshop, Valuing Individuality in Teams, we start with a focus on each team member’s behavioral strengths by using the WorkPlace Big Five Profile^TM. Then, identify communication norms for the team by exploring the diversity within the group environment and the contributions that those diverse perspectives can lend to collaboration and problem solving.
