High Performance Teams Part II

The second of this two part program allows each doctor and each team member to assess their own personality type so as to determine their strengths and weaknesses.  Good teamwork requires understanding each other and acceptance of our differences.  Once team members understand the different styles, they can put that knowledge into action with patients.  Since each patient has their own personality style, we would want to treat the patient as THEY would like to be treated…not necessarily how WE would like to be treated…sort of bending the Golden Rule.
