▫
When working with a group, differences are inevitable. Others will
have different thoughts, styles, and methods.
▫
Differences are a good thing!
▫
By understanding others, differences can be leveraged within a
group and can make a team stronger.
▫
Before you can understand others, you must first know what you
bring to the table.
▫
What are your strengths and weaknesses? Give examples where
you saw these in action.
