A tool for self-reflection and team integration
I am delighted to be able to support the great idea of the Central Hesse Police Headquarters under the leadership of Police Commissioner Torsten Krückemeier to share with you.
What is it all about?
I quote: "[The Manual of Me] is intended to be your personal "instruction manual" that helps other people to understand you better, to work together more harmoniously, and to make your life easier.
and communicate effectively with yourself. At the same time, by creating the manual, you reflect on yourself and your needs - which helps you AND others.
The manual should reflect your individual character, your ideas and preferences in a professional context. This can help to make topics that are personal to you (more) discussable."
Reference to PERMA-Lead
The tool contributes to various PERMA elements. For example, it promotes Commitmentstrength-oriented leadership, because it is precisely according to strengths ("I can do this well and
gives me energy") is asked. And when you become aware of this yourself AND you share it with your team or team leader, this is an essential step towards putting strength-oriented leadership into practice.
But it particularly promotes RelationshipsThis is because it helps to get to know the characteristics of the other people in the team. However, the prerequisite is that you feel safe in this team, otherwise it is unlikely that someone will open up personally in this way. This is why the tool is only partially suitable for the introduction round. But if psychological safety is a top priority in the team and the manager promotes this, i.e. trust, a culture of learning and inclusion are practised, this tool is ideal for getting to know each other in a structured way at an initial team event.
