Working on building a real team requires that team members get to know more about each other and the faster, the better… Using assessments to create a view like this, makes it easier for everyone to understand and adapt to everyone else on the team, improve together and do it more quickly than a year's worth of "water cooler" chats!
How people who think differently can work well together!
What struck me about what we learned was that we - leaders, managers, recruiters, HR - can learn how to communicate with, understand and incorporate people into our teams, who have different thinking preferences and behave differently than we do. What’s more is that doing so will strengthen a team’s ability to generate new solutions, solve tough problems, keep a breast of change, etc.

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant. Pentagon spokesman Robert McCluskey.
How do you listen? It may seem like a funny question. Some people might say, “With my ears”. Listening, and I know most of us have heard a lot about this, is way more than just using our ears.
