It's often said that business isn't personal.
The truth is – business is highly personal - and needs to take stock of the personalities in the business – in order to improve the bottom line.
When personality differences are minimized, discounted, or ignored, rather than leveraged towards the greater good of the organization, vital human capital is wasted. In addition, misalignment between the personalities of those working within the business - and their expected roles and responsibilities – decrease overall organizational productivity, profitability, and moral. Common examples include:
- Highly skilled/competent employees becoming burned-out despite outward appearances of being a best fit for the job
- Mismatches between personality and job requirements leading to high employee turnover
- Individuals and teams underperforming regardless of amount of effort expended
- Personality differences taken personally, leading to miscommunication, conflict, and crisis
- Seemingly cohesive and functional teams becoming out of balance and off track
- Management lacking critical awareness of best fit between employee's personality and position, resulting in "square pegs" being forced into "round holes."
- Lack of critical leadership self-awareness derailing business vision
