Team Building
“We use the Profile primarily with teams as a tool to help individuals understand their own behavior and communications styles, and also to provide insights about effective communicating with their teammates. In virtually every team with whom we’ve worked, people with the team reference their styles and communication preferences as they move through the team meetings, using the information from the profiles to help their teammates better understand “where they’re coming from”. We also see the impact of the instruments when clients fill out evaluations for us, frequently referring to what they learned about themselves and their colleagues as some an important part of the session. The PSP is an integral part of the work we do in team strengthening—assisting teams to be more effective at what they do”. ZC and EC, Consultants, Eugene, OR
