The personality diversity
One of the most fascinating and beautiful things about people is that each one of us is unique. There is no one else like you on this planet, including your genetic code, your appearance, and your personality—your operating system that governs how you think, feel and act.
It is part of the human condition that people have different needs and values, which form the basis of their belief systems. These beliefs ultimately drive behaviors and actions and manifest as diverse skills, personality traits, work styles and leadership strengths.
For example, some people need order and control to help them stay focused, prepared and grounded. When their environment and experience lacks these fundamentals and there is constant dynamic change, they are likely to feel frustrated and dissatisfied. In this same environment, however, others thrive because they need to express and experience variety, experimentation or innovation to contribute at their highest level.
What could change in an organization if everyone had an understanding of where these needs and personal styles come from, what they mean and how to navigate them?
