There is a dynamic that happens in every workplace that is responsible for causing significant interpersonal stress. It’s something that we have been studying since the 1950s, people tend to be aware of it, but organizations rarely do anything about it. We call it the Great Workplace Divide and we’re going to tell you want you can do about it.
What is the Great Workplace Divide?
It’s your “task” people and your “people” people not knowing how to work and communicate with each other. This lack of understanding causes miscommunications, conflict, stress and damaged relationships and it’s 100% avoidable.
During our time together learners will:
- Gain a greater understanding of the behavioral and communication tendencies of your task people and people-people
- Learn about their needs, preferences and stressors
- Explore key factors that both groups need to know about each other to be more empathetic and productive
- Discuss practical steps each group can do to have productive interactions and build better relationships where everyone feels understood and respected
