Communication and cooperation with different personality types


Did you know that right after IT-skills, the next most required competencies at the job market are teamwork and communication skills? These are universal skills that are becoming more and more necessary in our increasingly complicated world, both for communicating with subordinates and colleagues as well as with clients

Often, the main problem is that people tend to see the world only through their own eyes. At the same time, nowadays we live in a very connected world. Everyone is connected to everyone. Therefore it’s clear, that we should learn to achieve more cooperation and synergy. But how to actually see inside another person better, to understand them better? How does a client think? Why doesn’t my subordinate want to do certain tasks? What is happening in my manager’s head? Why do some people fit together better than others? How should I behave with him?

To be successful, it is necessary to understand the other side’s motivation, fears, limits, values, personality features and choose the right method of communication and approach according to this.

This training will teach you to recognize different personality types and notice your own behavioural patterns, to act according to the other person’s peculiarity and expectations. You will learn techniques that are used for attentively listening to another person and getting them on board with your ideas. We will also look at the common mistakes made when evaluating people and choosing a behavioural strategy, explore the topics of the main differences between communicating with different people, managing manipulation and influencing skills.

This training will not focus on studying the different personality types too thoroughly, but it will give as much knowledge as is needed at work and can be used smoothly in everyday work. We will also look at creating the mutual accountability (building of “we”) and the laws of teamwork in general. Understanding this will also help you understand groups of people and teams better as a whole, understand what is going on in these groups and to create the necessary feeling on “us”.

The training will give a brief overview of different personality theories and will explain more thoroughly a few interesting and practical typologies, that are easy to use in work. During the course of the training practical exercises and group tasks will be carried out. Those will help to „read“ the other side and use different behavioural patterns. This training will also definitely help to better explain and understand yourself and your reactions.
