Dealing with different personality disorder in the workplace

-

In a typical workplace, we find people from different cultures. Understanding different cultures is important so that we would not offend others. But, focus is much on training on how we are different. Everyone in this world has got a personality and this could be used to know and relate to people around.

This helps us understanding them on their personality rather that the physical traits and our behavior toward them changes. This would greatly minimize the basis of prejudices made. If you notice, a person can have all the four personality traits in him, with one being prevalent. One personality trait is always prevalent, but it may subject to change as a person adapts a new situation and environment. It may so happen that they may change their personality trait according to the job skills and required behaviors. However, their original personality trait may resurface soon. And, if the work becomes stressful, they tend to develop difficult behaviors.

Remember that you are identifying the employee based on the tendencies rather than the absolutes of the personality types. Infact, there are no absolutes in the areas of personality based behavior because the variety is infinite.

Valuing all Personality Types
When you start recognizing people of different personality types, you will also notice that each is unique in its way and are variation of normal human behavior. For example, you will find that a personality type can create a leader but leaders of different personality types may not lead in the same way. Achieving the success will not be in the same way, although you may find each personality type will find success.

Blending of different types is very advantageous. Each personality trait would have their own strengths, this may reflect in a team and the work may turn out to be successful. Imagine they have the same personality traits, they would simply be replicate each other. Of course, they wouldn’t have misunderstandings and conflicts but the required skills would be missing. And, with different personalities working in a team, different approaches to do a task will be done and the results will be better, balanced, and their execution and planning will be effective enough.

Make Your Resume A Breath of Fresh Air

 As a job seeker, it’s easy to see hiring managers as big, bad obstacles that need to be overcome. They’re the gatekeepers, after all. But, this kind of thinking actually leads to weaker job applications. Think about it this way: Hiring managers read a ton of resumes —to the point at which their eyes cross. More importantly, hiring managers are just people. With this in mind, the only thing you really need to do to stand out is to have the one resume that actually lets them breathe a sigh of relief during this painful process. Here are simple things you can do. Make the First Thing on Your Resume Immediately Relevant There’s nothing worse for a hiring manager than having to dig through a resume to find what, exactly, an applicant’s relevant experience entails. Don’t make this harder than it needs to be for the person who will be reading your resume, and make sure the first thing on your resume is something you know he or she wants. Are you applying to a sales position? Tit...

Achieving Mutual Gain in any Negotiation

-

When the parties in a negotiation are committed to a position, they feel that moving from that position is a failure. Instead, the focus should be given to their purposes. To achieve mutual gain, focus should be given on interests, rather than positions. An environment of respect and discipline should be prevalent between both the parties. For example, in a school, one party favours uniforms, the other opposes it. The reasons for the first party to support uniforms is to avoid circumstances where students wear casuals, because it may give rise to an act of bullying where a person or group may act hostile towards each other regarding their individual style.  The second party is against the use of uniforms because wearing a uniform has its own drawbacks. It makes students easily distinguishable to outsiders. It might even cause financial issues for guardians with limited income. In such a case, the solution is to allow students to dress according to a specific dress code. ...
