The Trouble with Task-Oriented People – When Productivity Stops Being Productive

Task-oriented individuals bring focus, efficiency, and results-driven energy to the workplace, but their approach can sometimes clash with the needs of people-oriented team members who prioritize relationships and collaboration. This webinar provides insights for people-oriented people to work more effectively with task-oriented colleagues, while also providing task-oriented individuals with greater self-awareness about how their behavior impacts others. Together, we explore strategies to bridge these differences, improve collaboration, and achieve greater success.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand Task-Oriented People: Explore their behaviors and communication preferences, strengths and growth areas.
• Recognize Needs and Stressors: Understand the unique needs and stress responses of task-oriented people and how to engage them productively, especially during high-pressure situations.
• Develop Versatility for Communication: Gain practical strategies for people-oriented people to adapt their communication to work with task-oriented colleagues.
• Promote Self-Awareness in Task-Oriented Individuals: Help task-oriented individuals reflect on their impact on others, fostering more balanced and effective team dynamics.

This session is a must for people-focused individuals looking to improve their working relationships with task-oriented colleagues and for task-oriented individuals who want to gain insight into their behaviors for stronger collaboration and results.
