Ask People How They Feel

The way people feel inevitably influences their productivity and sense of value. Asking people how they feel creates an opportunity to communicate and work more effectively with others.

Ask People for Their Suggestions - Then Listen!

Some of the best solutions will come from those who do not like to speak up. When you work with such people, take the initiative to ask for their input. Take time to listen, and seriously consider what they have to say.

Initiate Change with Patience

You are energized in spontaneous, creative environments. You like change and variety. Not everyone has your pioneering spirit, so be patient in suggesting extensive changes to other team members.

Be Personal and Unhurried

People respond best when they feel important and valued. Take the time to listen to team members in order to build trust and rapport.
