Welcome to understanding your team! In our previous work, you focused on understanding yourself - your personality, motivations, and communication style.
Now we're making a crucial shift: from "me" to "we." Your insights about human psychology become powerful when applied to your team.
Engagement Message
Ready to see your team members in a whole new light?
Here's a fundamental truth: each person on your team has a rich, complex internal world just like you do. They have unique personalities, fears, motivations, and communication preferences.
Yet most managers treat everyone the same way - usually their own preferred way.
Engagement Message
Can you think of someone on your team who's very different from you?
Before we dive deeper, let's address something important: the ethics of applying psychology with your team.
We're not trying to manipulate or "figure people out" for selfish gain. We're seeking to understand so we can better support, motivate, and communicate.
Engagement Message
What's the difference between understanding and manipulating in your mind?
Your goal isn't to become a psychologist or label people. Instead, you're developing observation skills to notice patterns in how people work best.
Think of it like being a good host - you notice what makes each guest comfortable and adjust accordingly.
Engagement Message
How might this mindset change how you interact with your team?
When you truly see team members as individuals with unique internal worlds, everything changes. The quiet person isn't "disengaged" - they might process differently.
The direct communicator isn't "rude" - they might value efficiency over pleasantries.

What assumptions about team members might you need to reconsider?
