We’ve all been there. We’re working on a team project and have to adapt to a new process, and sometimes new technologies, to fully contribute to the project. But we’re all different in terms of our work and learning styles and our competencies as they relate to technological tools. Tech skills are no doubt important, but so is a diversity of skills and expertise outside of the tech realm.  That raises the question “How should project managers address diverse teams to effectively realize a goal or objective?” 

In this episode of Being Inclusive, Kaleidoscope Group’s Marketing Project Director, Jodi Matas joined the co-hosts Reggie and Kat to discuss how she confronts and addresses the competency and learning gaps between people and executing a project. Are some project managers losing out on potentially exceptional team members because they are being too rigid about a preferred project management style? And how are project leads creating and nurturing diverse and inclusive teams to ensure everyone is contributing to the best of their abilities?
