Responsibilities

When you are doing this project, what is your job?

Conversational & Flipchart

We all know someone in our job,

our day service or our residential service who regularly gets what they want….

They know HOW to ask for what they want,

They know WHO to ask for what they want

and

They know WHEN to ask for what they want!

3 PERSONALITIESSees where something isn’t

happening….looks for the reason

why not? Then puts solutions

together and runs them bypeople. Takes on the helpfuladvice from others and

ignoresthe negative feedback. Then puts a plan in place and

presents a proposal to his or her line manager.

If the proposal is sanctioned

then puts the plan in place. Observes for progress,

identifies where things could be

improved and celebrates the success

of things that went well.

Where the plan doesn’t go to

plan, the person will look for reasons why and see how

things can be done differently next time and puts the new plan

into place!

Sees a great idea…rushes headlong into their boss with the fab new idea. Doesn’t see why the plan can’t be put into place immediately…and starts gung-ho. Makes decisions without informing others and then gives up easily at the first hurdle…they have great intentions…but rarely follow through.

Says we tried that before and it didn’t work…so why are we trying it again? Tends to be negative..in what they say…or in what they don’t say. Will identify the problems but not the solutions. When solutions are identified will give reasons as to why these won’t work. Audible resistance or inaudible but obvious resistance.

Changing your mind…Mary decided that she would like to do some

voluntary work so she started volunteering for her local church. She agreed that she will sweep the floor and put fresh water in the vases every week. She promised the woman who works in the church that she would be there every week to do the cleaning. She went twice and did a fantastic job…the place was sparkling!

What should her team partner do?
