Strategic Concepts Quote of the Week for July 25th, 2011 Poll

This weeks quote is actually several quotes or "statements" setup as a poll.

Vote for the statement that appeals to you the most. You will see the poll results (from other executives) instantly after you vote.


Various people choose differently. Your choice reveals a lot about you.

If you need to communicate or motivate someone that makes a different choice than you then you may need to adapt your communications with them.

Why?

Because they may not receive what you say, or will hear it completely differently than what you meant. Look at the different statements. They say a lot about how a person responds to workplace situations. Some look for results, some the team, others want balance and some need to do it right.

To maximize your effectiveness you need to get through a persons natural filter, how they see the world. Not only do you need to know and understand them, you need to know and understand how they see you.

There is usually a big difference between the two.
