2. Rules of the game Frankness in combination with respect enhances the acceptation of comments and suggestions Openess and honesty will yield the best results It is not as much about the theory but it is about you: as an individual as a member of your team It’s not about semantics, it’s about what happens

3. Today’s program Short introduction Thomas Steinbusch Pitching your quadrant (in three minutes) More insights in Ofman – Pierre Remijn More in depth research and soul searching in core qualities, but also pitfalls, allergies and challenges The power of multiple quadrants Knowing and using your teams qualities and allergies… Every team member answers the following two questions: Which parts of my current position match perfectly with my quadrant, and which elements of my job do not match at all? What can I do to change this? And can my team – or members of my team – help or support me with this? Plenary discussion Q&A

4. Pitching a personal quadrant

5. Exercise 1 What do I remember about the previous presentations Highlights Surprising insights I was given

6. Making yet another quadrant

7. 4 aspects further explained Quality: -feels good doing so or being so, goes effortless, vitalises yourself, inspires others -what are qualities other people ascribe me? -what you dislike in others reversed Pitfall: -comes almost naturally with the quality -recognisable as your weak spot -something you may rationalise, even against knowing better

8. 4 aspects further explained Challenge: -the quality you admire in somebody else -the issue you’ll be searching for in order to get balanced -what makes you smile when noticed in somebody else -the lesser degree of what you despise in somebody else Allergy: -what makes you tumble in your pitfall -what you notice quickly in behaviour of others -allergy is what we unconsciously try to avoid -quite often a pitfall of the person you’re married with..

9. Exercise 2 Who do you strongly dislike Keep the name for yourself What is the behaviour (what you see) from him/her What is the underlying quality Work out the relevant quadrant either way: forward or backward How does that relate to one of your qualities What personal challenge can you derive from that allergy?
