masing-masing. Dulunya tuh saya sering menyama ratakan semua tipe-tipe tersebut, sehingga saya sering deal sama semua orang
dengan cara yang sama. Tapi setelah mengikuti SPD, saya pada akhirnya sadar kalau orang dengan tipe berbeda harus dihadapi
dengan cara berbeda. Misalnya dalam Teamwork, ada berbagai tipe dalam kelompok misalnya thinker, problem maker, worker,
inisitor. Jadi saya belajar bahwa yang harus dilakukan di sini itu adalah saya tahu bagaimana cara memberdayakan orang-orang
tersebut sesuai dengan kemampuannya masing-masing. [In SPD, we were taught about the types of people. Every person
has his or her characteristics. Therefore, I learned how to face other people based on the types they were belonging to. Before joining
SPD, I thought all the people were the same type. However, after joining SPD, I finally realized that everyone had hisher own types
and each of them had to be faced differently. For instance, in a group, there were many types of the members in the group such as
thinker, problem maker, worker and initiator. Therefore, I learned to know what I should do. In this case, I learned to guide them to
do based on their abilities.]
