The Case of Mr Azman and His “Difficult” Team<\/strong><\/p>

When Mr Azman first contacted Coach Rubaidah, he was exhausted.<\/p>

As the manager of a growing SME in Singapore, he felt like he was spending more time managing personalities than managing the business itself.<\/p>

One employee constantly challenged his decisions.<\/p>

Another avoided difficult conversations and stayed silent during meetings.<\/p>

One team member became defensive whenever feedback was given.<\/p>

Another worked brilliantly under pressure but struggled with routine tasks.<\/p>

Despite having capable employees, productivity was falling and tensions were rising.<\/p>

“I don’t understand,” Azman admitted during their first session.<\/p>

“They are good people. I am a reasonable boss. Why does everything become an argument?”<\/p>

Looking Beyond The Behaviour<\/strong><\/p>

Most managers focus on what people do.<\/p>

Coach Rubaidah focuses on why they do it.<\/p>

Through behavioural profiling and structured analysis, patterns soon emerged.<\/p>

The employee who constantly challenged decisions was not trying to be difficult.<\/p>

He simply had a highly analytical personality and needed evidence before committing to decisions.<\/p>

The quiet employee was not disengaged.<\/p>

She preferred processing information privately before speaking.<\/p>

The defensive employee wasn’t rejecting feedback.<\/p>

He simply interpreted direct criticism as personal rejection.<\/p>

The employee who loved pressure and deadlines became demotivated when work became repetitive and predictable.<\/p>

Suddenly, the problem no longer looked like incompetence or bad attitudes.<\/p>

It was a communication mismatch.<\/p>

The Turning Point<\/strong><\/p>

Coach Rubaidah worked with both the manager and the team to help them understand their different behavioural preferences and communication styles.<\/p>

Small changes began producing surprisingly large results.<\/p>

Meetings became shorter and more productive.<\/p>

Feedback sessions became calmer.<\/p>

Conflicts reduced significantly.<\/p>

Employees began appreciating strengths they had previously viewed as weaknesses.<\/p>

For the first time in months, Mr Azman stopped feeling like a referee and started feeling like a leader again.<\/p>

Six Months Later<\/strong><\/p>

Six months after the intervention, Mr Azman shared an observation that stayed with Coach Rubaidah.<\/p>

“The people never changed,” he said.<\/p>

“The way we understood each other changed.”<\/p>

The team was still made up of the same personalities.<\/p>

The same strengths.<\/p>

The same weaknesses.<\/p>

But now they understood each other.<\/p>

And understanding changed everything.<\/p>

It Is Not Only About The Workplace<\/strong><\/p>

Coach Rubaidah sees similar patterns every day.<\/p>

Parents who believe their teenagers have become distant.<\/p>

Couples who repeat the same arguments for years.<\/p>

Business partners who slowly drift apart.<\/p>

Friends who misunderstand each other’s intentions.<\/p>

Very often, the issue is not a lack of love, commitment or goodwill.<\/p>

The issue is understanding.<\/p>

People communicate differently.<\/p>

People react differently under stress.<\/p>

People process emotions differently.<\/p>

When we understand these differences, relationships become easier to navigate.<\/p>

Human Profiling Is Not Fortune Telling<\/strong><\/p>

Human profiling is not about putting people into boxes.<\/p>

It is not about labels.<\/p>

It is not about predicting the future.<\/p>

It is a structured approach to understanding communication styles, emotional triggers, decision-making patterns and behavioural preferences.<\/p>

Understanding these patterns helps people become:<\/p>

  • Better leaders.<\/li>
  • Better spouses.<\/li>
  • Better parents.<\/li>
  • Better colleagues.<\/li>
  • Better communicators.<\/li><\/ul>

    Most importantly, they become better at understanding themselves.<\/p>

    Understanding People Is A Superpower<\/strong><\/p>

    Schools teach mathematics.<\/p>

    Universities teach technical skills.<\/p>

    Businesses teach processes.<\/p>

    Very few places teach us how people work.<\/p>

    Yet relationships shape almost every area of our lives.<\/p>

    Families.<\/p>

    Friendships.<\/p>

    Businesses.<\/p>

    Communities.<\/p>

    Leadership.<\/p>

    Perhaps one of the greatest investments we can make is learning how to understand people better.<\/p>

    Because when understanding improves, relationships improve.<\/p>

    And when relationships improve, life often becomes much easier.<\/p>

    That is the work Coach Rubaidah has dedicated herself to for many years.<\/p>

    Helping people understand people.<\/p>

    Because sometimes the problem is not the situation.<\/p>

    Sometimes the problem is simply that two good people are speaking different emotional languages.<\/p>
