The X-Factor: Working With Others Who Aren’t Like You
Technology, health care and science are dynamic and ever-changing. But what DOESN’T change even in these industries is our daily face-to-face and phone interactions with others. Despite any differences you need to work together. It may be a personality conflict, a managing style, or a host of other reasons. But if you don’t figure this out, the chance for success is compromised-and there will be a lot of uncomfortable tension in the air. People sign contracts. People procure merchandise. People approve budgets. People track down late shipments, and People approve employee promotions and raises. Personal relationships are paramount. There’s much incentive to ‘get along’ with the people you work with.
To be successful we need to understand why people respond and act the way they do. And I want to help you navigate through this with my three decades of ‘people experience’ working internationally and within the United States with one of the more prominent and successful corporations in the world, and from my thousands of hours in the cockpit.
You will assess your own listening and communication skills. You will identify the various reasons for conflict and the keys to resolving these. You will be more confidant in your abilities to work with any individual in the future.
