Title: Module Information
Course: PIM: Teaming 2: Self and Other Awareness > Section: Introduction

This module is designed to help you become a more effective team member.

In this module, you will learn about personal agendas and cultural dimensions that are often the reason for assumptions, attitudes, and actions that may lead to conflict on a team. Knowing about these will help prepare you to recognize deeper causes behind conflicts, manage your own responses, and develop strategies for helping a team address conflict together.

The learning outcomes for this module are cultural self-awareness -- insights into your own cultural rules and biases -- and knowledge of cultural worldview frameworks -- your understanding of the complexity of elements important to members of another culture such as history, values, politics, etc.

Begin by testing your awareness using one of the videos below -- your choice. The first tests visual awareness and the second, auditory awareness.

How did you do?

Whether the awareness test is new to you or not, the video's takeaway that what we notice is often constrained by what we are paying attention to is an important one. What do you think this has to do with teaming?
