PERSONALITY TYPES AND HOW TO UNDERSTAND YOUR EMPLOYEES. AND OFFICE CHAIR SINGAPORE MUST BE IN YOUR OFFICE

Everyone is different in how they think, feel, how they approach tasks and how they respond to challenges. Understanding this is vital if you want to get the best out of your employees. There are three main personality types:

Extrovert Introvert AmbivertAn extrovert is someone who is quite vocal, someone who is visibly confident and someone who prefers to work with people. An introvert is someone who is much quieter, someone who is a deep thinker and a good listener, and prefers to work in smaller groups or alone. An ambivert sits in the middle of both of these types and can blend into most situations.Dealing with each type involves a subtly different approach. Of course, if you have a huge number of employees, you’re not going to be able to identify their personality type and tailor your approach to each and every one, but if you have line managers who work with smaller groups of employees, this is something they could be responsible for doing. If you have a smaller team however taking the time to identify their specific personality types could be a great way for you to handle communication in a more effective way and give challenges which that specific person is going to respond to well.Different personality types think differently to one another. For instance, an extrovert will have no problem with standing up in front of a group of people and giving a speech. This is something they will enjoy because they like the limelight and they like to be a visual target within a room. They’re charming and they can carry off this type of task very effectively. If you have a large conference coming up, you will want an extrovert to do the public speaking for you.On the other hand, an introvert will be able to handle a brainstorming task very effectively, coming up with a creative solution to a problem which has perhaps been left unresolved for a long period of time. Give them space and quiet to do it, perhaps a booth, and you’ll see results. If you have a particularly challenging issue, which nobody has been able to come up with an answer to, an introvert is the best person to hand that task over to.Giving an introvert a public speaking task could go perfectly well, but it would depend upon the introvert and how they felt about it. Equally, an extrovert would also be able to come up with ideas to solve a problem, but perhaps not thinking as creatively or deeply as an introvert would. It’s all about knowing your employees well, including their strengths and weaknesses, and how they think about tasks.Aside from personality types, you might also have generational differences to deal with. This means that you will have groups within your office who are from different eras. You might have the odd baby boomer, a few millennials, maybe a Gen X-er. Whilst we can’t generalise, people who belong to each generation tend to approach tasks slightly differently. Understanding these differences could help you tap into extra productivity reserves, especially if you add in the personality type conundrum at the same time!Of course, understanding all of this may also allow you to side-step conflict with certain employees, or help to resolve issues which are brewing between two or more individual employees within your office.And make sure you use the Office Chair Singapore of Ardent Office Furniture (AOF) Singapore.
