Interpersonal differences have long been the toothache of corporate America. (Our apologies to dentists everywhere.) Every work group is comprised of unique personalities that are often the source of tension and conflict. And left unchecked, relationships and teamwork suffer.
If we can learn to better communicate and understand each others’ personalities, we will likely also improve our working relationships and overall organizational success. Understanding that some team members may be more comfortable working “behind the scenes” while others really enjoy giving presentations or making cold calls on customers can help capitalize on everyone’s strengths and interests. This in turn will likely result in happier and more productive team members.
There are many tools and “tests” that can be used to help identify personality types. Used appropriately, these can help management and team members to better understand the motivations, work styles and personality temperaments of their co-workers.
This presentation will show you a proven, time-tested tool to not only help relieve interpersonal friction, but also show how it can be used to transform the different personality types into a potent source of strength, thereby increasing group morale and diminishing the amount of stress we all experience.
