A seven-member agile team's composition varies considerably in age, gender, culture, personality type, and professional background. When planning a team-building event, what type of interpersonal skills should the project leader use?
I first thought it would be social awareness, but this seems rather to be a part of "emotional intelligence" (https://www.pmi.org/learning/library/emotional-intelligence-develop-abilities-skills-6628) and communication seems to be an interpersonal skill (https://www.pmi.org/learning/library/seven-interpersonal-skills-success-portfolio-manager-9391)
Option B.
In Agile, the success of a team depends on effective collaboration and communication among team members. When planning a team-building event, the project leader should use social awareness skills to understand and navigate the varying backgrounds and personalities of team members.
Social awareness skills include the ability to understand and empathize with others, read social cues, and communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds and cultures. By using these skills, the project leader can create an inclusive and supportive environment for team members and help foster trust and collaboration.
I would go with B.
Social Awareness: The ability to take the perspective of and empathize with others, including those from diverse backgrounds and cultures. The ability to understand social and ethical norms for behavior and to recognize family, school, and community resources and supports.
Given the diverse composition of the team in terms of age, gender, culture, personality type, and professional background, social awareness is crucial. Social awareness involves understanding and empathizing with the feelings, perspectives, and needs of individuals within the team. This skill will help the project leader plan a team-building event that respects and caters to the diverse backgrounds and preferences of team members, promoting inclusivity and positive interactions.
While options A, C, and D are important skills as well, social awareness is particularly significant in this context to ensure that the team-building event is effective and meaningful for all team members.
C = correct. The mutual skill to handle various people (by age, gender, culture, personality type, and professional background) is communication (as an intrapersonal skill)
Interpersonal skills are the skills we use every day when we communicate and interact with other people, both individually and in groups.
A. Networking & B. Social awareness are NOT interpersonal skills.
C. Communication & D. Leadership are interpersonal skills. In this situation, Communication is the right suitable skill.
Our ability to properly disseminate information and listen to others actively is an essential leadership credential. The four types of communication used by project managers include interpersonal communication, nonverbal communication, written communication, and oral communication http://www.skillpower.co.nz/2019/07/06/project-leadership-and-teambuilding/
