What causes a toxic culture at work?

The most likely cause of toxicity is a lack of awareness of different personality traits, preferences and conditioning. 

“Personality clashes” hinder performance, because they create unsafe working environments and break relationships. 

This is largely the effect of one element of human existence. …
PERSPECTIVE!

Left unresolved, ultimately, everyone suffers.

There is a huge risk of escalating damage to the individuals and the company. 

Q: How can you in your leadership role, help to repair these relationships? How can your guide people to understand the risk of the potentially destructive power of differing perspectives?

A: Explore the different personality profiles within your team using ICQ GLOBAL DISC. 

– First help everyone become aware of their own personality traits, preferences and conditioning – hence their own perspective on the world.

– Then invest time so that the team understand each others’ personality traits, preference and conditioning and subsequently their differing perspectives.
 
– Then coach them to learn the techniques which improve communication using a newfound understanding of differing perspectives, based on personality traits, preferences and conditioning. 

Learn about your own personality traits, preferences and conditioning. Understand yourself. Then help your team to understand each other.

Reduce tension, clashes and burnout. Become an even better leader.

Like any great plan, the place to start is to establish exactly where you are now.

Using the ICQ Global Disc profiling tools, you will gain clarity and then move forward. Measure the team on these three crucial factors:

  • Motivational Drivers
  • Psychological Safety
  • Cognitive Diversity
  • You will gain your leadership edge and become an even better leader.
  • Understand the 4 personality types through ICQ Global DISC profiling
  • Learn how each of the types communicate
  • Learn how to lead each personality profile
  • Learn how to read your team’s GrowthZone report – showing scores for the three factors (Motivational Drivers, Psychological Safety and Cognitive Diversity. )

You will be provided with a team assessment after you register and buy your ticket so that you can access your team’s responses to the 10 crucial questions in the assessment.

You will leave with the clarity of where your team is now and a plan to move them forward, reducing the potential for clashes and burnout and improving team results. You will be an even better leader. They will be more driven, safe and understanding of each other. Engagement will increase and so will results.
