Prompt 3: (This will take a little advance planning.) Consider a specific colleague (who you see regularly) who you would like to connect with in a more effective and meaningful way. Sketch out a plan for how you will accomplish that goal this week, employing strategies associated with the two criteria mentioned below. Execute your plan and report on your results. First, using the factors discussed in the Module 4 textbook chapters, describe some strategies you might use to accomplish your goal. Second, how might your understanding of the Big 5 personality model help you meet this goal more effectively? Comment on your colleague’s observable personality traits (using the Big 5 dimensions) and how the notion of “style flexing” might be applied in this case to help facilitate the achievement of your goal.
