NEW! UnderstandingWorkplace Talents and
Personalities
Have you ever wondered why you work really well with some people
and seem to clash with others? Each of us has a natural style of
thinking, processing information, problem solving, and communicating.
Often workplace conflicts arise simply because communications are
misunderstood. For a manager, trying to improve productivity and
maintain harmony, building smooth relationships can be a challenge. In
this program, you will assess your own personality style and recognize
the traits of those around you. Managers will learn to weigh the talents
and skills each team member contributes. You will learn how to show
appreciation for the diverse personalities around you and begin building
team cohesiveness. Using historic role models Eleanor Roosevelt and
Gandhi, along with Churchill and Eisenhower (from the earlier sessions),
you will see how different personalities can be equally effective, though
they exhibit different behaviors and styles. DiSC personality assessment
concepts will be used.
