Quick Advice on Managing the 5 Conversational Styles on Your Team
During the kickoff of a new year, leaders are focused on getting back to business, re-energized to get results and increase performance of their teams. ��
Great leaders have the confidence to engage in discussions and listen to others, but many leaders just aren���t comfortable with the idea. Perhaps their ego gets in the way. They assume that they know everything and don���t want to waste time listening to others; or perhaps they are insecure and will pretend that they know it all; and some just don���t know how to manage discussions.
Realistically, it���s hard to have healthy team discussions because people are unique. Here are the five types of people on a team:
People who want to talk a lot.People who don���t speak up much.People who think they are always right and don���t listen to others.People who like to argue.People who avoid arguments.
In addition to personally managing your own tendencies, you also have the special responsibility to help others adapt, allowing everyone���s voice to be heard. Some will need to speak up and some will need to listen up. A well-managed, vigorous debate usually brings the best decision, and the leader is usually responsible for the final decision. One of my favorite phrases as a team participant is that ���I don���t need to have my way, but I want to have my say.���
It���s the healthy way to lead a team, and you���ll be giving others the gift of believing in themselves and their role on the team. You can also read the entire coaching blog on this topic.
