Creative Personal Expression

Building Connection within Diverse Teams
Building a highly functioning team requires a great deal more than simply amassing individuals with complimentary subject matter expertise.

Communities of people that work well together, and constantly improve their performance have three things in common:

  1. They are aware of, and consciously work with their functional strengths and weaknesses 
  2. They cultivate inclusiveness around varying personality and communication styles 
  3. They deal effectively with diverse perspectives and conflict
