A well-attuned team with team members who work well together and who understand each other is of great value to an organization. Using More Insight into Learning Strategies (MILS) as a tool for learning to recognize the work preferences of team members and their manager(s) is an interesting and easy way to improve mutual cooperation and communication.
Knowing the best way to provide information to each other benefits the effectiveness of the collaboration and the team’s mutual communication. The noise disappears and there is time left for other things.
MILS can be used as part of complete processes for further development and professionalization of the team. The inventory can also be used during a team meeting, for example to deepen the relationships between team members.
Teambuilding activities
You can organize a great team-building activity by taking the MILS inventory with your team. You can either do this yourself or you can outsource it. By gaining more insight into each other’s preferences for processing information, working methods and communicating, you will immediately see an increase in mutual understanding. “Oh, is that why you always start walking around when you get a call?”
Team building strengthens the “We” feeling, which is especially important for those who value collaboration. As a manager, you try to ensure that you provide leadership and clear communication. But does it come across that way?
By using the More Insight into Learning Strategy (MILS) measurement for your team, you as a manager learn to understand your employees better. And vice versa. Why does one send emails and the other prefer to pick up the phone? Does the team want strict procedures or will there be resistance? Is your team evenly distributed or is one work preference dominant? Besides being a fun, interesting and instructive way to spend a team day, the MILS inventory will make a lasting contribution to the cohesion within the team. You will be amazed at how much impact the work preference has on teamwork and on day-to-day collaboration. Knowing that there are various work preferences can reduce conflicts because we can better respond to each other’s preferences for working and communicating. Colleagues won’t have to spend as much time figuring out how to communicate and collaborate well. This benefits the effectiveness and productivity of the organization.
The MILS research has been very successful within HR in increasing employees’ chances of success in training. Improve the return on the training budget (ROI) by up to 30% by including work preference and learning preference in the applications.
