Kindness
|
|
|
It
was becoming painfully obvious to
Margaret that her staff was about

target was even more
important.

Your View with the 360˚
|
|

Janice
brings to our first session the
desire to be seen as powerful and
decisive as she believes herself

Triggering
to Respect |
|
|
Somehow
the easy give-and-take that had

Working
Well Together |
|
|
If
you can’t be with the team you
choose, work well with the team
you’re given.
Working well together is a
conversational dance of words,
positions, shapes and motion.

|
|
Respect and
Confidentiality |

|
A Resilience Dilemma |
|
|
Helen acted as though she did not
trust Dave or his opinions.

weakness.

your face,” colleague.

habits are about where you are
coming from and how you tend to
travel. |
