Is the mis-hiring, mis-firing, mis-management, and mis-understanding a risk the Venture Team Leader can afford to take?
Or is there a proven, scientific way of avoiding each of these pitfalls and allowing the entrepreneur to shepherd the
team to successful achievement of its goals? Carol Dysart, behavioural style expert and UNITEC guest lecturer, says YES!
and will demonstrate how leading-edge technology and on-line systems can help New Zealand Venture Leaders meet their
goals and create a win/win work environment at the same time.
Carol will demonstrate how a correct understanding and application of the tools will do more than make the Road of
Trials - which every Entrepreneur daily rides - less bumpy and treacherous. It can literally create a superhighway
advantage upon which the people-smart manager can cruise… at top speed!
Within her presentation, Carol will demonstrate: ·Computer-assisted profiling and analysis of relationships between team
players. ·How to identify leaders and emerging leaders. ·How to anticipate the interpersonal challenges members and
their team leader might face without these processes and team building training in place. ·How these computer-assisted
tools can be used in both learning and working teams - at home, at work, and in student projects. ·Risks and benefits of
Individual and Team Analysis profiling with and without professional coaching.
Carol will show how to use High Tech to get High Touch - anywhere people are involved. The uses include: hiring the
right people into the right roles, orienting new employees to their roles and their teams, uniquely managing and
motivating of each different personality style, holding empowering employee performance reviews, and developing better
teams and team leadership skills.
She will hold a "real time" consultation with this year's MBIE class, showing how they can use the information in their
profiles to deepen their knowledge of their talents and temperaments - and develop their 'learning agendas' to further
develop those talents into strengths as well as to anticipate potential clashes in styles between team members.
Carol and Dr. Peter Mellalieu will demonstrate, with 20-20 hindsight vision, how the use of these scientific Team
Analysis tools might have anticipated the challenges that occurred in the past. They will show how future use of these
tools can make 20/20 forward vision possible.
Carol will also discuss how to prevent and/or minimize - the negative impact that breakdowns can have in any team or
Enterprise where people are unaware of the potential weaknesses their strengths can cause and when to call for help.
She will introduce a new Mentoring, Coaching and Assessment Service concept she envisions for UNITEC students, faculty,
and the neighbouring community businesses, and explain how it can be accessed on line.
Much of the technical back-up material for the profiling distinctions are contained in Carol's latest books
'Understanding Style" and "Money Making Systems: For People Who Work with People" with DC Cordova- both available at the
UNITEC library and soon to be offered through the special UNITEC Entrepreneur On-Line site. At www.entrepreneur.ac.nz
Carol Dysart is a graduate of UCLA with a Masters in Counselling from San Diego State University. A visiting guest
lecturer at both universities she is also the DISC Master Coach at the USA-based Excellerated Business School for
Entrepreneurs as well as tutor in the Capabilities for Innovators course at UNITEC's MBIE.
Carol especially enjoys her 1:1 work with UNITEC's students and faculty teams - helping them understand the strengths
they bring to their teams and how to maximize or develop those in their current or future careers.
