What makes a difference in team building? • What you say!!! Communication Content • Concrete • Abstract • What you do!!! Actions to get things done • Utilitarian • Cooperative Melanie Bunn, RN, MS April 2011
Communication: Concrete or Abstract • People think and talk about what they are interested in • There are two broad but distinct subject areas. • The external, concrete world of everyday reality: facts and figures, work and play, home and family, news, sports and weather -- all the who-what-when-where-and how much's of life. • Other people talk primarily about the internal, abstract world of ideas: theories and conjectures, dreams and philosophies, beliefs and fantasies --all the why's, if's, and what-might-be's of life. • Concrete people talk about reality • Abstract people talk about ideas. Melanie Bunn, RN, MS April 2011
Action: Utilitarian or Cooperative • People are trying to accomplish their goals • There are two fundamentally opposite types of action. • Utilitarian or pragmatic manner, that is, they do what gets results, what achieves their objectives as effectively or efficiently as possible, and only afterwards do they check to see if they are observing the rules or going through proper channels. • Cooperative or socially acceptable manner, that is, they try to do the right thing, in keeping with agreed upon social rules, conventions, and codes of conduct, and only later do they concern themselves with the effectiveness of their actions. • Utilitarian people instinctively, and for the most part, do what works. • Cooperative people do what's right. Melanie Bunn, RN, MS April 2011
