Wednesday, March 17th Team Meeting
Important metrics from the February 10th meeting:
Autonomy (A):
Low (left of the arrow): you tend to be an agreeable team player, supportive, humble
High (right of the arrow): you might be independent, confident, a self-starter, and assertive - someone who thinks in concepts rather than details
Pace/Patience (C):
Low (left of the arrow): you provide intensity and velocity, work fast, and need pressure to perform. You are probably someone who creates artificial deadlines and loves working toward defined goals. When you want something you want it right now. You are polyphasic, or able to work with lots of things in the air.
High (right of the arrow): you may be regarded as the calm in the storm. You are likely patient and methodical in your work, someone who is able to focus for an extended period of time. You enjoy routine and a single focus, don't like interruptions, and need time to process.
(See a full recap of our initial Culture Index review here.)
What should you take away from comparing your Survey Traits to your Job Behaviors?
your "Survey Traits" chart reflects how you see yourself based on your response to the quiz; your "Job Behaviors" chart reflects how you see your role at Loc-Doc
a significant mismatch between a trait on your Survey Traits chart and your Job Behaviors chart means that this is an area where you have to use more mental stamina or Energy Units (EU) to maintain that disparity - it's an area where you may burn out the quickest
How does your Culture Index score relate to your needs when it comes to communication?
Autonomy (A):
Low (left of the arrow): you prefer lots of detail and clear, consistent communication
High (right of the arrow): you receive information in "bullet points" and prefer quick, direct facts
Pace/Patience (C):
Low (left of the arrow): your attention span when receiving communication is likely to be shorter, especially if the communication doesn't match up to your needs defined by your A trait
High (right of the arrow): you are able to listen to a more long-winded set of instructions that isn't tailored to the way you best receive it for a longer time before you become frustrated
Reflecting on Consistent Communication
Why is it important to understand different communication styles?
How have you struggled with communication in the past?
Are you gearing your style of communicating based on the person who is receiving the information? Are you making sure they're receiving the message?
