. As we work to build team unity, it's easy to forget that teams are made up of unique individuals whose hearts and minds are engaged in very different ways. Collective strength depends heavily on how well we understand and tap into our own inner motivation. For some people, dialogue is most important. For others, it's a deep sense of purpose. For still others, it's the chance to be creative. By knowing what's important to whom, we gain crucial knowledge that can help us bring out the best in ourselves, our colleagues, and our teams. This session gives people an insider's look into 22 factors that foster commitment and enthusiasm. They uncover their own most important factors while gaining insights into the highest priorities of other team members. But the session goes much further as people: Learn about the big difference between discussion (with its win-lose mindset) and dialogue (which takes more time but leads to the best win-win outcome). Gain key insights into the art and science of understanding and managing emotions. A high level of emotional literacy is crucial to all teams. Get a quick course on "bidding for connection" and "turning toward," two powerful concepts that can dramatically improve team relationships. All of this is made real with practical examples, inspiring stories, and meaningful activities. In the workshop version of this session, participants talk about their discoveries during a facilitated dialogue. This process creates an important measure of team learning that can immediately boost a team's "click factor" while setting the stage for stronger working relationships in the long term.
