PERSONALITY PERCEPTIONS AND ATTRIBUTIONS


 WHY IS IMPORTANT FOR MANAGERS AND EMPLOYEES TO BE ABLE TO UNDERSTAND DIFFERENT TYPS OF PERSONALITY?

 Every single person has a special way to behave in different situations of the life, this manner in how we see situations and respond to them are characterized by some special features that are part for our personality.
When we talk about a company, full of different people, it is important to take into account that not everybody works at the same rhythm, and not everybody like to do the same work, or react at the same manner at the others, here is the importance of knowing and recognising the different personalities, because it makes easier to implement the solutions to possible difficulties that can be present inside a company, family, school, friends’ environment and so on.

Particularly in the job environment, the understanding of different types of personality can represent a big advantage for managers and employees, because it can be seen as a fast way to resolve problems or do diverse tasks in a better way. For example, if a person’s personality shows that the best job option to he/she is to work in a commercial area but that person works inside the company; while some other person that works with the consumers has a personality that shows shyness and a better performance inside. Therefore a manager having discovered these characteristics can uses this knowledge as a tool, and he is going to be able to move both employees into the area at where they are good at.

Also employees can use this capacity to recognize different personalities, to be able to create solutions according to the way they see the others are going to react, or maybe if they have some issues at the job with any colleague, if they are able to see how that person is and the way in how she/he behaves, one can be resolve the difficulty in a easier and faster way than if one doesn’t know and try with others solutions that may increase the disagreement between the parties.

For all of the above, we have to have clear that personality is something that is going to be always present in our lives, and it is better to be able to recognize it because we are all different and you may love something that your best friend hates.

Here is an example of some personalities in a company that are not easy to handle but are essentially to understand
