Insights Discovery: Self-Awareness and Understanding Others
The Insights Discovery diagnostic helps us gain self-awareness about our own strengths and weaknesses, as well as understand each other's preferred communication styles and ways of working.
With this knowledge, we should be able to subtly adjust our communication approach based on who we’re engaging with, allowing us to build stronger, more effective relationships in the workplace.
That’s why we combine Insights Discovery 🟡 🔴 🟢 🔵 with our Ignite Big Room Planning for portfolios, programs, and initiatives. It promotes self-awareness across teams, setting the stage for successful and harmonious delivery!
Then comes the challenge: applying that awareness day-to-day, especially when we’re in the thick of things.
Robert Cass 🟢 🟡 / 🔵 🔴 and the Insights team offers a straightforward yet highly effective toolkit for putting this into action. Here are some examples:
Dialing down your color energies:
🔴 Fiery Red: Be open to questions and alternative ideas. Actively ask for feedback and listen carefully.
🟡 Sunshine Yellow: Let others respond first. Give yourself a few seconds (count to 7) before speaking.
🔵 Cool Blue: Speak up when you disagree, and openly share your thoughts.
🟢 Earth Green: Be direct and confident. Offer your input without needing to be asked.
How do you adapt your communication style to connect with others? Mastering this skill can be incredibly powerful!
