Lions, dolphins, elephant and monkeys? Sounds like a zoo! Well, your business is a zoo – a communications zoo.
Dynamic monkeys are trying to joke around with the analytical elephants and the single-minded lions are frustrated with the ever-patient dolphins. Your office is a mess of confused communication in all the different languages and styles.
Nigel Risner’s ‘It’s a Zoo Around Here’ is a form of personality profiling whereby you can find out which animal you and your colleagues are by discovering your dominant traits. With that new knowledge, you can start effectively communicating in your workplace and really make things happen!
Stacey is a; DOLPHIN!
Dolphins are open and unassertive, warm, supportive and reliable. However, dolphins can sometimes be seen by others as compliant and soft-hearted.
So, what does this actually mean?
When communicating with team, you need to speak the same language – so speak to an dolphin as a dolphin!
They are sensitive and tuned into people’s emotions. But, they can be quite emotional. Use a quiet tone of voice, be gentle, and be prepared to go into detail.
Lead them by outlining specific plans and activities to be accomplished.
