As a team leader, good traits.\u00a0 Always room for improvement however.<\/p>\n
Enter 2016 where I took part in training run by TMI\/TACK International, using the same model.\u00a0 This time around I scored 6136.\u00a0 This means I remain a panther but also have a strong \u201cowl\u201d component.\u00a0 As one would expect for someone coming from a quality assurance and control background where such behaviours were not my strongest in 2009, improvement has been shown as now as well as being dominant, I am conscientious, displaying these traits:<\/p>\n
Behaviors<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- Enjoys independence<\/li>\n
- Objective reasoning<\/li>\n
- Wants the details<\/li>\n
- Fears being wrong<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
While working in a lab, everyone was my customer.\u00a0 My direct supervisors and reports.\u00a0 Other departments.\u00a0 The end-user.\u00a0 Little has changed now I am working in tech support.\u00a0 The major difference would be now I directly interface with the end-user.<\/p>\n
It is possible that my visual communication (graphic design) training has influenced my communication style as a big part of creating briefs is gathering information and designing something for the customer, not for me (so an objectively good, rather than subjectively good design).<\/p>\n
I fear being wrong as I know I do not know everything and knowledge is fluid and for any given situation, the variables might make the outcome different to the predicted outcome.\u00a0 Also, things I knew to be true 20 years ago have often been proven to be false.\u00a0 Taken to the extremes, I can clearly see alternate timelines where I\u2019m present (or dead), not to mention those where humans never arose.<\/p>\n
No change on how to communicate well since 2009.\u00a0 Feedback is still important to ensure the receiver heard what it is that I was trying to convey, vs what they think, or I think, they heard.<\/p>\n
No change to communication input.\u00a0 Body language still makes up a large part of communication, and for phone conversation, tone and content is important.\u00a0 For email, content is 100% of communication.\u00a0 That\u2019s one of the reasons why I\u2019ll pick up a phone if some vital form of information needs to be communicated.<\/p>\n
The trainer was nicely animated and used real world stories to get his training transferred effectively to us.<\/p>\n
In summary, my communication style has changed slightly since 2009 where my main objectives were deemed to be control and results with the ability to make quick decisions.\u00a0 Seven years later and I am now more diplomatic and analytical.\u00a0\u00a0 These are solid additions to my personality.<\/p>\n
