Senior Team FIRO-B®Workshop
Evaluation Summary
Date:13th February 2009
- The things I have learnt from the workshop are:
- How FIRO-B works – it’s excellent. How inclusion, affection and control relates to the way we interact with our colleagues and how these affect our behaviour.
- Better understanding of my responses to other people’s behaviour.
- How I behave and why I behave the way I do. More about my team and how we can complement one another’s behaviour.
- The background to an interesting social analysis tool.
- Low level of affection.
- How people’s feelings are different plus their actions.
- That I’m not as needy as I thought I was. The direct managers around me aren’t too different from me.
- About FIRO-B and its use, how I scored and the rest of the team, how we complement each other in our views.
- My behaviour as I see it and how others see it. FIRO-B – excellent.
- How people have different motivation and needs.
- That there is a range of personalities in the senior team and some people are different to my previous preconceptions.
- The team (senior) is diverse with different attitudes, skills, competencies, comfort zones. However, they can be complementary and adds to the team environment.
- Core aspects of FIRO-B. Personality traits of my team.
- The most important thing I have learnt about myself is:
- My affection scores were lower than I thought.
- I need affection more than I thought I did.
- What I thought about myself when communicating with others was true!
- To be engaging, to speak up and take part.
- Can’t answer - sorry.
- I have something to offer as part of a team.
- I’m not alone.
- That I want and need to express a need for control more than I realised.
- Others have similar qualities.
- Expressed needs for control, express affection, need to be more aware.
- My perception of me was pretty much as my results demonstrated.
- That I was right in a lot of ways about myself.
- That I am engaged by subjects such as these.
- My action plan to take back to my workplace is:

- Look at the information in detail to see how I can learn from this.
- To try and use the methods shown today in communication.
- Be more aware of other team members’ feelings.
- Think of others when organising senior squad meetings/corporate days.
- Be aware of how I act and the actions of others.
- Include my team in decision making and say thank you more often.
- To listen more and try and understand.
- To be more aware of how my behaviour might be perceived.
- Learn to modify my behaviour when dealing with people with different needs and wants.
- To be more aware of how I interact with colleagues and to think more carefully about how to interact.
- Sow more affection/approval to certain people.
- Consider traits of each team member.
