Skill Level: Open to all.
This course presents ways to develop effective collaboration among introverts, extraverts, and ambiverts on NASA project teams. Everyone fits on a spectrum of introversion and extroversion, while ambiverts are introverted in some circumstances and extroverted in others. The differences are so significant that they can appear in PET scans of our brains. Once we know our dominant personality type, we can learn how to leverage the strengths that come with that, and develop the skills to work effectively with the other personality types. One key factor for improving project team performance is combining the strengths of introverts, extraverts, and ambiverts.
This course is science-based, lively, and transformative. Discover the techniques to get the best from introverts, extraverts and ambiverts. This course will enable you to create a high-performance project team that drives missions forward. You will learn about the neuroscience research that backs up these concepts, how it can increase team effectiveness, and how to counter the mental shortcuts we all use to make quick decisions. Building on these insights, you will be able to pull introverts into meetings, stop extraverts from taking them over, and draw on the balance of ambiverts.
Individuals who will benefit from this course include anyone who works on teams who needs to minimize personality conflicts and increase team productivity. This course also helps leaders learn to get the most from their teams and how to decrease counterproductive conflict.
All supplemental resources are NASA accessible only unless otherwise noted.
