Understanding Personality Types At Work

Knowing (and making the most of) the differences between colleagues is good for business!

HOW TO WORK EFFECTIVELY AS A TEAM

Do you recognize these people? 

The Know-It-Alls, having an opinion on any issue. The Passives, who never offer ideas. The Dictators, coming across as bullies. The No People, quick to point out why something won’t work. The Complainers, who would rather complain than try finding solutions.

They’re the people you work with …

What does personality have to do with it? Everything!

Knowing and accepting the differences between the people you work with – and making the most of those differences – isn’t just good for the individuals concerned, it’s good for business too!

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN!

Personality is who we are and why we behave the way we do.

Every business and organisation require the natural born RED LEADERS, the bubbly ENERGETIC YELLOWS, the PEACEFUL GREENS who make sure that everybody are okay and the thoughtful detail-orientated BLUE PERFECTIONISTS.

Whether you’re a MANAGER, SUPERVISOR, TEAM LEADER or CO-WORKER, knowing your strengths and best working methods can help to boost productivity.

Knowing what working methods get the best out of you, boost productivity.

Temperament & Personality Test

According to the Temperament Model, people belong to four temperaments, being Sanguine, Choleric, Phlegmatic and Melancholic. Colours are used when explaining the temperaments. Sanguine – Yellow, Choleric – Red, Phlegmatic – Green, and Melancholic – Blue. The Four-Colour Temperament Model helps to know yourself and others. How strengths and weaknesses can be utilized to achieve the best outcome.

Strong team

Personality can be the mortar that holds the team together or the chisel that tears it apart. Members of the team must be able to work and engage together. Businesses and organisations require the Red leaders, the energetic Yellows, the Peaceful Greens and the detail-orientated Blue Perfectionists.

Group discussions

Group discussions, facilitated by an experienced presenter, could send your organizational culture to the next level. If colleagues have a more participative role in the training, they’ll feel more empowered – something they’ll carry with them beyond the training and into their daily behaviours.

Workbook

A workbook is included for participants to make notes during the training. Notes can help with focus and staying engaged while watching videos, keeping records, and thinking critically about what is learnt. The workbook is designed so that you can easily print it before the training day.
