Working with a team that has different work styles can be challenging, but also rewarding. Different work styles reflect different cultural backgrounds, personalities, preferences, and strengths. When you can leverage the diversity of your team, you can achieve better results, foster creativity, and improve communication. However, to do that, you need to make sure everyone is heard and respected. Here are some tips to help you develop your cultural competency and manage your team effectively.

1 Identify your own work style

Before you can understand and appreciate the work styles of others, you need to be aware of your own. How do you like to communicate, organize, plan, and execute your tasks? What are your strengths and weaknesses? How do you cope with stress, feedback, and conflict? You can use various tools and assessments, such as the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) or the DISC model, to help you identify your work style and preferences. Knowing your own work style can help you recognize your biases, blind spots, and areas for improvement.

How can you successfully lead others with different work styles if you don't know your own! There are so many different ways to figure this out but a lot of deep reelection I find to be particularly powerful. You can also ask others that have worked with you for a while about their opinions on your work style.

Understanding your own work style is vital for collaboration and growth. Tools like MBTI and DISC help. Another useful tool I recommend is the GC Index, which identifies your impact within a team. It measures five key areas, helping you leverage your strengths and recognise areas for improvement. You can then leverage this understanding for more effective teamwork and personal development.

2 Learn about the work styles of your team members

Once you have a clear picture of your own work style, you can start to learn about the work styles of your team members. You can use the same tools and assessments that you used for yourself, or you can simply observe and ask questions. Pay attention to how your team members communicate, organize, plan, and execute their tasks. What are their strengths and weaknesses? How do they cope with stress, feedback, and conflict? Try to understand the cultural influences, values, and beliefs that shape their work styles. Avoid making assumptions or stereotypes based on their appearance, background, or position.

3 Communicate clearly and respectfully

Communication is key to any successful team, especially when there are different work styles involved. You need to communicate clearly and respectfully with your team members, and encourage them to do the same. Use multiple channels and formats, such as email, phone, video, chat, or face-to-face, to suit the preferences and needs of your team members. Provide clear and specific instructions, expectations, and feedback. Listen actively and empathetically to what your team members have to say. Acknowledge and appreciate their contributions and perspectives. Avoid jargon, slang, or humor that might be misunderstood or offensive.

4 Adapt and compromise

Working with a team that has different work styles requires flexibility and compromise. You need to adapt your work style to the situation and the people you are working with. For example, if you are a planner who likes to have everything mapped out in advance, you might need to adjust to a team member who is more spontaneous and creative. Or if you are a direct communicator who likes to get to the point, you might need to soften your tone or add some context when talking to a team member who is more diplomatic and relational. You also need to compromise on some aspects of your work style, such as deadlines, priorities, or methods, to accommodate the needs and preferences of your team members. However, you should not compromise on your values, ethics, or quality standards.

Flexibility and compromise are essential when collaborating with a team of varied work styles. Adapting to different approaches means adjusting your own preferences to suit the situation and colleagues. Whether it's embracing spontaneity over planning or balancing directness with diplomacy, finding common ground fosters effective teamwork. While compromising on deadlines or methods is necessary, integrity and quality should never be compromised. #Teamwork #Adaptability #Collaboration

5 Celebrate and leverage diversity

Finally, working with a team that has different work styles can be an opportunity to celebrate and leverage diversity. Diversity can enrich your team's performance, creativity, and innovation, as well as your own learning and growth. You can celebrate diversity by recognizing and valuing the unique contributions and perspectives of your team members. You can also leverage diversity by assigning roles and tasks based on the strengths and preferences of your team members, and by creating a collaborative and supportive environment where everyone can share their ideas and feedback. By celebrating and leveraging diversity, you can make sure everyone is heard and respected, and that your team achieves its goals and objectives.

Once you are aware of your own work style, you can then begin to think about, how do I complement others? Who complements me? Remember, diversity encompasses more than just race, gender, and age; it also includes our working and communication styles, as well as our problem-solving approaches, cultural backgrounds, and areas of expertise. Recognising and embracing these differences can lead to more effective collaboration and better outcomes for the team.
