RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS, POST-COVID19 (AND WHY TICK CAN HELP REDUCE CONFLICT).

“The quality of your life is determined by the quality of your relationships. The quality of your business is no different.”

It’s a beautiful quote by business coach and legend, Tony Robbins put his own twist on it: “The quality of your life is the quality of your relationships, because, that is where emotions are most magnified.”

As society reconnects after being in isolation for weeks, we’re going to see relationships shift and transform. Understanding your team, employees and management are more important than ever. Tick’s online personality assessment can help you with this. It’s a tool that we suggest leveraging right now, as your team returns to work.

We’ll see the colours of personality ‘exposed.’

In times of crisis, you can see the nuances of people’s personalities front row and centre. Pleasantries fall by the wayside and the burden of the unknown reveals character, otherwise hidden. As leaders, it’s essential to understand the mix of personalities in your team, so you can best manage any fear, conflict, and issues that arise.

The four bird types (and the personality ‘etiquette’ of each)  

1. Doves need to be reassured of their sense of belonging. They respond to stability, are kind and sentimental, care about people’s feelings, and try to eliminate risks. Yet, they’re not quick to change their patterns and don’t work well under pressure. Questioning their loyalty is hard for Doves to swallow.

2. Peacocks love talking about themselves, tend to exaggerate, are emotional and require touch, and are quite unorganised. They’re not quiet for long, aren’t known for being good listeners, and aren’t exactly a homebody.

3. Eagles appear in control, keep conversations short, are highly competitive, and their career comes first. Eagles aren’t patient, but they don’t break promises.

4. Owls need solitude and plenty of time to make decisions. They’d rather stay in than go out, are fussy, and always take an intellectual approach. Don’t rush an Owl or expect them to know what you want or be optimistic. Owls aren’t the life of the party.

With a range of different personalities at play, it’s important to identify them. By understanding which bird type to attribute to your team members, you can diffuse issues, manage expectations, and support their needs in the changing post-COVID environment.
