Description
Understanding yourself and others and being able to communicate effectively are crucial competencies in the workplace. A survey conducted by the University of Pittsburgh’s Katz Business School highlighted the importance of these skills. In their survey of over 50,000 employees, they found that communication skills and the ability to work with others were the main factors contributing to job success.
In this lunch and learn, you will be introduced to Personality Dimensions® which is based on leading-edge research into human motivation and behaviour and helps to explain what motivates behaviour in people with different personalities or temperaments. Understanding Personality Dimensions® offers several benefits to both the organization and the individual. An organization will benefit by having improved communication, better team work and less conflict. Individuals will benefit by:
• having a better understanding of themselves, their strengths and developmental needs
• developing a tolerance for and understanding of others who have different personalities from their own
• reducing the number of conflict situations they become involved in
• interacting more effectively with others
• influencing others in a win-win way
