Knowing It All
“Being relatively new, [the
conversation] gave me an
opportunity to interact
with people that I’ve only
emailed and talked to a little
in passing. It was nice to
see people and talk to them
about their strengths so
we can all utilize a better
work atmosphere and
lean on each other more
effectively.”
—CLAYTON SCOTT, LEVITT-SAFETY
While strong teams have specific,
well understood objectives,
it’s important to remember
that different people have
different strengths and styles
in accomplishing those goals.
Utilizing these differing personality
types can lead to increased
teamwork, better results, and
regular innovation.
WHAT YOU’LL BE COVERING
• No individual can be more successful than a smoothly
working team of diverse individuals.
• Focus the team on a single, clearly understood
objective; brainstorming creative ways to accomplish it.
• Identify the four dominant thinking styles, and which
members from your team fit which style.
• Discuss ways to learn through failure, without risking
losing your job.
Motivation 3.0
Successful teams in the 21st century move fast. Successful teams are comprised of
autonomous, passionate, self-motivated individuals; each working on their own projects,
each project furthering collective team goals.
WHAT YOU’LL BE COVERING
• Think and act beyond the training manual.
• Evaluate the team’s “standard” tasks and consider whether they should be
more or less systematized.
• Discuss how we “motivate ourselves properly in our tasks.”
• Plan how the team will hold itself accountable to deliverables.
“We had a great discussion around autonomy, mastery and
purpose. Fabulous conversation to launch our meeting.”
