UNDERSTANDING BEHAVIOR

Today's cultural melting pot brings with it a level of diversity that has never before existed. Each person brings with them a certain skill set and they will each have their own way to process and communicate ideas. That can be a huge challenge for the businesses and its employees, not understanding the unique differences people bring.

Employees are expected to conform with in a companies guidelines and still push the envelope of innovation. If they can't, they are held stagnant in positions that frustrate the employee and their seniors. How would your staff benefit if they:

  • Understood their preferred communication style.
  • Recognized, understood and appreciate the communications styles of others.
  • Were flexible in their communications , understanding and relationships

PROMOTING SUCCESS

There is a belief that if someone succeeds in one type of job they will succeed in another job that is completely unrelated. It is not uncommon to have a top sales representative become a marketing manager or a extremely efficient assistant be promoted to run a new department. Unfortunately being good at one thing does not always equate to being good at another and businesses spent millions each year unsuccessfully promoting employees into positions they are doomed to fail at. It happens all the time

  • Creative people are put in a position that only requires manual dexterity
  • A people oriented person is placed in an isolated back room
  • Someone who requires order in their life is put in a position that requires flexibility
  • Management positions are given to those lacking people skills
  • A detailed oriented job is given to someone who hates details

    • These are traits people possess and if you know them up front, you can begin to tailor the best people for the positions that suite their behavioral skills. While there are other things to consider, understanding your staffs behavioral tendancies can lower employee frustration, predict their actions and improve productivity
