We call out communication skills as an additive ingredient to core management skills.  Leaders must engage with employees, peers and key stakeholders to influence and affect business outcomes.  Too often, leaders don’t appreciate the variety of communication skills to employ, and in what situations.  We’ve “been there done that” in our own leadership experiences and have unique and unparalleled expertise to bring in facilitating these workshops.

Understanding Others: Styles, Types, Personalities

It is repeatedly stated that no man/woman is an island.  That means leaders must effectively engage, collaborate, influence and manage people of different cultures, styles and personalities.  Being self aware of your own style is the starting point.  Learning about others and their styles is key to effective decision making and teamwork.  Assessments are a core competence of all TPG consultants and coaches.  We will greatly expand your knowledge and appreciation of others.
