Personal Effectiveness
“We cannot safely assume that other people’s minds work on the same principles as our own.”
– Isabel Briggs Meyers
Personal Effectiveness encompasses everything a team member needs to be successful in the organization – from practical skill sets to conflict management, to enhanced self-awareness and personality testing.
But Our People Are Already Trained!
Being trained on a particular corporate process or knowledge set doesn’t mean the people in your organization will necessarily be successful. Often, one of the problems with organizations that are performing sub-optimally has to do with highly-trained employees who nevertheless don’t possess one or more of the life skills or interpersonal skills necessary to thrive or advance. Unhappy workers, unresolved conflict, or frustrated employees are often key indicators that there is room for improvement in personal effectiveness.
