Let’s review some of the ways in which personalities
can affect work-relations and performance, and, subsequently, why it is
important for every manager or leader to know at least the basics of the
characters
of the people that work directly with them. First of all it may be good to stress that in every organization
you will find 2 basic types of behavior: the organization’s behavior, and
the personal behaviors of the workers. And for each of them it is important
The reason why it is so important to know workers’ values
and attitudes is because it can help you a lot in determining how to increase
their levels of job satisfaction. And keeping workers’ job satisfaction
up to par is
As a manager you should be able to pick up on that and correct it. Oftentimes you will already get an idea when people start staying away from work very often (high absenteeism). Usually that is a primary sign of dissatisfaction, and if they are not involved in severe personal of family problems, it can only mean one thing: they are looking for another job. In those cases you, as the manager should not hesitate to have a good talk with your worker(s) in order to find out what is wrong and how it can be changed. You should also know that people differ from one another:
you have self-initiators who hardly need direction, and you have those
who need constant handholding. Your management style should be adapted
toward these
Other significant issues with regards to management and personality issues are stereotyping and attributing. As a manager you want to be cautious with these issues: although you, too, are a human being with human flaws, you should try avoiding to paint one general picture for a group of people based on one negative experience with a member of that group, just as well as you should try avoiding to label one person based on the general ideas about the group he or she comes out of. Furthermore, you should be cautious of instantly attributing people’s behaviors to their characters: everybody has downtimes in which they perform less. Try to detect patterns before jumping to conclusions: if someone is displaying a certain behavior under similar circumstances all the time, you can go ahead and assign that to his or her character. In any other case: remain observant. The last important point I would like to stress here is
that you should attempt, as a manager, to maintain an appropriate stress-level
in your workplace. What I mean by this is, that stress is not necessarily
a bad
The main point made here is that, as a manager, you have
to engage in the art of humaneness. Managing entail much more than just
ensuring that production targets are met. It means even more: keeping people
