Transformation Tip: “All we are saying is give peace a chance” - John Lennon
This week's focus strength: Harmony
- Generally look for consensus
- Does not like conflict - looks for areas of agreement
- Peacekeepers + Peacemakers
This strength is not weak it is vitally important in relationships and teams.
Harmonizers Needs:
- Need the ability to acknowledge when a confrontation becomes unhealthy
- Need shared values
- Need to be on teams with a shared vision
Blind spots when overused:
- Practicality from others can become frustrating
- Sometimes for the sake of peace, they sacrifice progress
- Avoid conflict
- Sometimes conflict is needed!
Management
- Find other harmonizers - you will work best with them
- Stretch outside your comfort zone and voice your honest opinion
Transformation Application: Identify an opportunity where you can move from a peacekeeper to a peacemaker. If you are not a harmonizer, tell one that you know that you appreciate them.
