This is true on the job as well. Everyone has different interests and preferences.
Here's an idea. Take time to ask team members what they enjoy. Make a list of these interests and then get creative, play Match.com with your tasks. If you are lucky, what one person finds engaging is something that another person finds tiresome.
- Do you have someone who likes to teach? They could be your internal trainer.
- How about someone who enjoys a sense of completion? They could take on some reorganization projects.
- Maybe you have a social convener in the mix, they could plan the next staff outing or meeting.
The more you tap into people's personal interests, the greater the team's overall success.
