Growing My Performance in Collaboration

Defensive Reasoning

Definsive reasoning is a response to being told you are incorrect or being judged. Definsive reasoning can make people respond hastely and scew their data/ word to fit their opinion. People who are told they are responding definsively will deny it.

This is a problem because:
  • It causes people to pursue dead ends
  • It makes people disfunctional and causes team disruption
This can be overcome by:
  • Not responding because of emotions.
  • Recognizing when you are getting defensive.
  • Analyzing the sittuation and applying the SII method
  • Taking time before giving a response by claiming you would need to check data, ect.

The SII Process
  1. Identify the strengths that helped complete a task.
  2. Identify areas of improvement to help complete the task the next time by identifying problems and skills to solve those problems
  3. Identify insights by looking for the "lightbulb" moments when completing the task.
