You are a Cadet platoon sergeant. Cadet Cleveland is the squad leader of a very diverse squad. Cadet Cleveland is usually a very effective communicator, but he is getting frustrated because he always has to repeat instructions several times before his whole squad understands.
What should you do to help him understand why he has to explain more than once, and what he can do to improve understanding by his diverse squad?
Tell him that sometimes leaders have to explain themselves more than once, even with squads that are not too diverse.
Tell him that since he has a very diverse squad, he may always have to explain things more than once, but to pay attention for words that effectively get his message across, and to use them more often.
Have him re-evaluate his own comfort zone and natural behaviors because they are probably different from what he first thought.
Give him a list of power words to randomly use when he gives instructions so that at least some of his Cadets will understand.
Cadets Franklin and Smith have been best friends since they were five years old. After they determined their Winning Colors® preferences, it seemed like they had
very little in common. Cadet Franklin was strong in planning and relating behaviors, and Cadet Smith was strong as a builder and adventurer. Both of them realized that they did work better with others at times, and their friendship began to fall apart.
What would be the best thing to say to help them remain friends?
“Behaviors work in many ways, and if you tried to appreciate the differences, you would probably find that they complement each other, just like you.”
Nothing. Sometimes people just outgrow friendships.
“This exercise was to help increase communication within a diverse society. It doesn't have anything to do with friendship, so you should still be friends.”
Nothing. They probably shouldn’t have been friends in the first place because their preferences were different.
