Personalities Will Not Always Line Up!

Experience Add comments

So I have to apologize for the gap in postings, I have been working on a couple of new client implementations as well as trying to get into the blogging routine.

Okay, so I think most folks are familiar with the idea that every person is an individual and that we all have personalities that are unique.  This is what makes the world great, but this also raises a number of things that we can clash over or miscommunicate on.

What I am saying is that we must keep this in mind when we are managing a team.  Each team member is an individual, each team member has their own personality, each team member has their communication style, each team member has strengths and weaknesses, each team member may learn differently – I think you probably get the picture.

An item that I find critical is that regardless of personality or trait – if we struggle to communicate and we meet resistance due to these differences – we as managers must take an approach that works for the individual we are addressing (remember each team member is unique).

I know that folks may read this and say “well that is common sense” – well it may be but in many cases we do not practice this and therefore we need to be reminded of this – so here is my reminder for us both :) .
