How About a Personality Make Over?

Think big thoughts.

Today’s business climate creates multiple opportunities for fresh thinking. This time is useful to break bad habits and learn new leadership skills, and to advance your team. If you are a solopreneur or a small company, use this time to analyze what’s working and what can be discarded to free up your talent.

Here are several ideas for you:

• Use this time to spruce up team meetings. Keep them short and to the point.

• Everyone gets to shine. Have team members bring in something they have pride in and share it with the team.

•. Discuss ethics and how they affect your work. Knowing ethics actually reduces stress because everyone knows what to do and how to react.

•. Find out what terrifies people. Assist them to seek out solutions to calm these fears. You’ll find a healthier team energy when they see you are willing to help. Find out if there is a company employee assistance program or a community solution. This level of honesty shows how you care for your team.

•. Since the year is closing, do an analysis, post-mortem, on what went well and what we could do better next time. What did we learn?

These are some of the ideas a coach can work with you and your team as an objective guide.

As a credentialed business coach and analyst, one of my primary functions is to work with individuals and company managers to clarify where they are presently, where they would like to advance, and what tools they have and need to achieve their desired outcome.

I use a variety of tools to assess perceptions including Platinum Rule instruments, my experience and training in assessing behavior. My preferred tool is the EQ-i®, emotional intelligence inventory. I have specialized training on the EQ-i® and DISC Inventories and access to multiple other sources including a company culture index. I prefer the EQ-i® because it is the least judgmental instrument I have found. It focuses on strengths and areas of development related to the goals set by the individual. For example, people are more likely to apply the EQ-i®’s information rather than label themselves by the Myers-Briggs categories.
