Do you know about
Free Cycle ?
Freecycle is a grassroots environmental movement. Its goal is to
recycle and reduce waste and landfill space by connecting people
who are throwing away unwanted items with others who are seeking
the same items (and want to have a little fun in the process).
No item is too big or too small; but since this is a FREEcycle list
and we emphasize gifting, ALL items must be 100% (that's right,
you got it) free. No bartering, trading, buying
or selling is allowed.
There are free cycle groups all around the world find the one nearest
you.www.freecycle.org

| Bringing
out the Best in Yourself and Others
To bring out the best in yourself and others it
is important to understand each other's natural strengths and weaknesses.
For the greatest success shift your communication style, as much
as possible, so the other person can receive and process your information
effectively.
For example an ACTION DRIVEN person has about a
two sentence attention span. They are natural leaders and want results
NOW. Their favorite statements are “what’s the bottom line?” and
“let’s cut to the chase!” They are often seen as domineering and
insensitive to the feelings of others. They need to slow down and
learn to listen more. Give them the big picture and expected results
in as concise a manner as possible.
The highly ANALYTICAL person wants lots of data
and is concerned about getting things RIGHT. They can be overly
cautious, get stuck in the details and be too perfectionist. Analytical
people are critical to the financial success of an enterprise because
the devil is in the details and they attend to those details. It
is equally important that you help them understand the big picture
and how the details support the organization's goals.
The attention getting EXPRESSIVE creative person
is a natural SALES person because networking, making friends and
influencing other is their greatest strength. They are highly creative
and intuitive so they often think outside the box. They can talk
too much and get easily distracted so it is important to acknowledge
their ideas and contributions and keep them focused on the key priorities.
The interpersonal HARMONY person is most concerned
about everyone getting along. These sensitive, dependable and caring
folks are the oil that make organizations run smoothly. They are
vital assets in any job that requites patience, diplomacy, good
humor and a willingness to help out where ever needed. Because they
are people pleasers, they can be taken advantage of by others and
over commit. They need help in negotiating deadlines so they manage
their work without getting overwhelmed.
We all have some score in each style areas. Most people have at
least two dominant styles, a few people have three dominant styles
and some people have almost even scores in each area.The
subtle combinations of these scores can have a significant effect
on how the person interacts with others and performs work tasks.
The more you understand these differences the more successful you
will be in communicating, motivating, and bringing out the best
in yourself and others. Click here to print the “Understanding
Style Tendencies” graphic.
A highly functional work team has a balance of all four styles.
Because it takes practice and experience to interpret the scores
quickly and easily it can save you time and money to use a coach
or consultant who is well versed in the profile to assess the best
scores for a particular situation and your company's culture.To
access in depth Personal Styles Indicator (PSI) profiles for yourself
and your staff click

Shifting your style slightly to more powerfully engage people of
other styles can have a huge pay off in effectiveness, cooperation,
teamwork and productivity. Teaching your staff to understand style
differences, the assets each person brings to the team and how to
work together more effectively can greatly improve communication
and tolerance for each other's idiosyncrasies.
