Everyone on your team has value and can contribute, but there are likely times that you wonder why your teammates do what they do.
Learn About Your Teammates –
and Their Personality Tendencies!
As a team leader, it can be tremendously helpful to gain more knowledge about yourself and those on your team concerning personal styles of influence. Each individual has unique behavioral tendencies and strengths which influence everything from group interactions to their preferred tasks and focus.
According to many psychologists, “the foundation of personal and professional success lies in understanding others, knowing yourself, and realizing the impact of your actions and attitudes.”
Instruments like the DISC model (which the animal types below are based upon) are proven as valid assessments, and are a valuable way to better understand yourself and your teammates.
“Sean did a tremendous job in helping us to see each other’s strengths and weaknesses and gave us the floor to vocalize our concerns or opinions to help draw in the others. It was very helpful to do the group breakouts based on the ‘numbers’ because you could visualize where everyone was.
It gave those that might not speak up an opportunity to do so and, overall, it was helpful to get perspective on how everyone thinks and works!”
“I loved that we could see where we were similar and where we were different in a physical manner. He used various teaching methods, which targeted our different learning styles.
He gave us a safe and polite way to express how we felt. I left the day feeling much more confident about how I was viewed / understood and also with a much better understanding of how each of us work.”
For Quick Assessments, “Animal Types” are Fun…
The teams that may be looking for a useful but less comprehensive team personality instrument are often happy to learn about themselves and their teammates through the shorter and less thorough “Animal Personality Types” quiz that will help to identify them as one of four animal styles:
(Otter, Lion, Golden Retriever, or Beaver!)
Developed by Gary Smalley, the Animal Styles roughly relate to the very well-known DiSC personality inventories that have been widely used. For athletic teams or work groups who are simply seeking an accurate but less comprehensive option, this is a brief and enjoyable option.
After each participant completes a short questionnaire, we take a moment to score and discuss each individual’s results. This offers a useful self-assessment of personal behaviors and preferences, and is a great opportunity to better understand why our teammates act the way they do…
