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!
Jane is a; LION!
Lions are very direct and as the same time guarded. They exhibit firmness in their relationships with others, are oriented toward productivity and goals, and are concerned with bottom line results – however, they can be stubborn, impatient and tough.
So, what does this actually mean?
When communicating with team, you need to speak the same language – so speak to a lion as a lion!
They are results-orientated, effective and like to be in charge. But, they are very efficient. Don’t waste time with them. Be brief and to the point and speak directly.
Lead them by allowing them freedom to do things their own way.
