Read about these four "Compass Points" together

• North: Acting – “Let’s do it;” Likes to act, try things, plunge in.
• East: Speculating – likes to look at the big picture and the possibilities before acting.
• South: Caring – likes to know that everyone’s feelings have been taken into consideration and that their voices have been heard before acting.
• West: Paying attention to detail —likes to know the who, what, when, where and why before acting.

Each team member writes, in large type, their compass point on a folded piece of paper and sets it upright in front of them.

Each person takes a turn answering these questions, one question at a time.

1. What are the strengths of your style? (3-4 adjectives)
2. What are the limitations of your style? (3-4 adjectives)
3. What style do you find most difficult to work with and why?
4. What do people from other “directions” or styles need to know about you so you can work together effectively?
5. What’s one thing you value about each of the other three styles?
