Publisher's Synopsis
No two people are the same, and our individuality should be celebrated in the workplace. Do you agree? Have you ever noticed how your personality style at work might differ from how you behave in other contexts? How do your personality traits compare to those of your colleagues? And how do different personality styles interact to shape workplace dynamics and culture?
Exploring Personality Styles in Occupational and Business Settings will help you answer these questions using the Personality Styles Inventory (PSI). Grounded in Jungian psychology, the PSI tool uses an eight-style model to identify personality preferences, offering valuable insights into individual and team dynamics. Widely adopted in businesses, the PSI tool can be applied to enhance self-awareness, improve communication, foster better decision-making, and ultimately boost performance.
In every organisation, people with different personality styles are brought together to achieve common goals. Understanding yourself and others is essential for building strong, effective teams and navigating workplace relationships. This book explores how personality influences career choices, workplace interactions, and team dynamics, featuring a detailed exploration of the eight personality styles based on the PSI model.
By gaining a deeper understanding of your own personality and that of others, you can improve team collaboration, resolve conflicts more effectively, and create an environment that encourages open communication. Specifically, this book will:
- Define what is meant by the term personality
- Identify and describe the 8 personality styles from the PSI
- Explain how style differences impact occupational and behavioural choices
- Demonstrate how personality styles can be used to build successful business teams
- Highlight strategies for using personality styles to foster psychological safety and enable coaching conversations
- Explore the dark and bright sides of personality
- Provide best practices for managing yourself and others in the workplace
Exploring Personality Styles in Occupational and Business Settings is a practical guide for anyone looking to harness the power of personality awareness to improve performance, enhance workplace culture, and drive organisational success.
