Why
TEAMprovising™
benefits your group
Ask anyone what their biggest problem at work
is.
It's probably not the reports, deadlines or computer glitches.
It's getting through it all with the people involved - both co-workers
and clients!
Maybe you work with:
|
Penny -- who
never knows
what she wants?
|
Joan --
who thinks she's informed you but you still don't have the facts?
|
Quincy --
who interrupts
and never acknowledges what you've said?
|
Warren --
who no one really knows after three years because he just
kinda sits there?
|
The truth is: Penny and Joan do know what
they want but they don't express it well.
Quincy doesn't recognize that his way of getting to the point
drives other people nuts.
And Warren is intimidated by all three so he doesn't want to reveal
much about himself.
|
What does it all come down
to?
Like it or not, the office is our second family. And life gives you about as much choice
for co-workers as does for siblings!
And even LESS choice about your clients. So the trick is to find the way to
like it.
|
|
When we like being with our co-workers and clients, we support
each other.
We go the extra mile for teammates, maybe without even
being asked.
Studies show we produce better work in such an environment
and achieve greater
customer satisfaction.
People who like being together show respect to one another,
curtailing a myriad of potential harassment suits.
|
Bottom
Line
When
we enjoy working with those around us, the company
gets satisfied, productive employees who want to stay
-
making the investment that the company puts into THEM pay
off. |

How Milo fits in
In my fifteen years of information technology work
for corporations and government agencies, I worked with all four of the
people above and hundreds of others -- all of whom ranged from loveable to
infuriating.
I actually liked working with Quincy
because I learned to work within his style -- through humor, good-naturedness, and effective communication. It was always a challenge, but
paid off repeatedly.
And he often told my boss how much easier I was to
work with than other supporting staff.
Really, I hadn't changed; my attitude
toward him had.

 |
You and your staff can share in this
exciting way of facing the day
as part of a productive, supportive team.
TEAMprovising
will get you where you want to be!

 "TEAMprovising
created the community, creativity, and cooperation I've wanted to see from the
team leads. Even the most conservative ones were caught up in the momentum
and calling out their realizations after the exercises."
