Team Building: Understanding Team Member Styles, Healthcare Version

Whether the task is functioning within a dentist office or designing a yacht, efficient and successful teamwork starts with knowing your teammates. With an online training video, workers learn how identifying your style, strengths and weaknesses when it comes to teamwork, as well as those of your teammates, makes all the difference between a successful project and a failure.

The program examines four styles people use when working together, collaborator, contributor, communicator and challenger, and how those styles work together. It then discusses how each style brings something different to the group dynamic and ensures success as each performs a separate but equal task when it comes to problem solving.

The program shows how it is just as important to know a style's weakness in group as it allows an individual to fall back and allow their partners' strengths to guide the group, which works hand in hand with showing appreciation of other styles to strengthen the dynamic. This video shows the value of not restricting oneself to his or her preferred style and branching out to bring a fresh perspective to problems.

The program shows how each office has the personnel to form a successful cohesive group. By identifying the different styles, their strengths and how they relate to one another, a staff can work together at its optimal level.
