A cold, fall Friday morning, sounds like a good time to avoid doing real work and take the Genesys meeting profile test. Besides, a little psycho-analysis never hurt anybody. Let’s go.
Ten Minutes later I complete the survey and get my results…
Moving fast, juggling your work, and acting independently are approaches to work where you excel. The more urgent the work, the better you perform, actually feeling personally gratified at the end of an exhausting day. However, this fast approach can also cause you to become impatient, sometimes even intolerant of slower performers and with colleagues who may need a more deliberate approach to come to consensus.
The man behind the curtain has been revealed. I guess my OCD and need to get things done as quickly as possible causes some stress when dealing with, shall we say, more thorough and deliberate co-workers.
You may find it easier to overcome your relatively low assertiveness in virtual meetings because you don’t need to face a roomful of people like you do in traditional face-to-face meetings.
Like a lot of people, I tend to clam up in larger, in-person meetings. Web meetings allow me to speak more freely because I’m not distracted by body language or discouraging looks. It’s not complete anonymity, but hiding behind the phone and internet does allow me to have more confidence in what I contribute to the meeting.
Virtual meetings are meant to cut out unnecessary time wasters. However, at the same time, a little structure goes a long way toward keeping the group moving toward achieving its objectives.
It appears that web meetings fit in perfectly with my work personality, because they are typically more focused and eliminate a lot of the tangential chit-chat that can take a 30 minute meeting and turn it into a 90 minute meeting. I am all about efficiency and not having to leave my office to attend meetings means I have more time to work on my other personality flaws.
