Personality and Performance: Increase Productivity by Focusing on Strengths

Deep within our DNA are natural preferences. Managers who understand these preferences can unlock personality strengths that can be productively applied on the job. You can increase each employee’s energy by learning how to organize the work environment and empower employees by understanding who needs you to delegate step by step, and who prefers a broad picture of outcomes. Motivation is a result of understanding who needs to feel relationally connected and who needs a goal to achieve. Finally, you can structure the work to take advantage of those who love to meet deadlines and those who love to save the day. Over 75 percent of Fortune 500 companies use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® Assessment to help leaders increase performance. You can too!
