Lions, dolphins, elephant and monkeys? Sounds like a zoo! Well, your business is a zoo – a communications zoo.
Dynamic monkeys are trying to joke around with the analytical elephants and the single-minded lions are frustrated with the ever-patient dolphins. Your office is a mess of confused communication in all the different languages and styles.
Nigel Risner’s ‘It’s a Zoo Around Here’ is a form of personality profiling whereby you can find out which animal you and your colleagues are by discovering your dominant traits. With that new knowledge, you can start effectively communicating in your workplace and really make things happen!
Michael is a; MONKEY!
Monkeys have high levels of both directness and openness. Monkeys are animated, intuitive, lively. They are ideas people and can get very enthusiastic about their plans – however, others may see them as manipulative.
So, what does this actually mean?
When communicating with team, you need to speak the same language – so speak to a monkey as a monkey!
They have plenty of ideas and always know how to have fun! But, they do get bored easy. Ask them for ideas, be energetic, and make it fun.
Lead them by inspiring them to bigger and better accomplishments.
