It really all comes down to something called self-awareness which is understanding who we are on the inside, how we tick, what our natural talents are, and what those areas of development might be.”
Steven Farber
The key is understanding what our personalities are, what our strengths are and how we can then flex and work with other people who may not see things the way that we see them.”
Steven Farber
I would say first and foremost there is no such thing as seeing yourself in a negative light when you’re finding out what your personality is.”
Steven Farber
You may not do things the same way as someone else but it does not mean that you are less of a person. And a good example would be leadership, you think that a more direct person is going to be a better leader. That’s not true. They just lead more directly. Everyone can be a leader.”
Steven Farber
In a team-oriented job, knowing who you are can keep you from enforcing your personal style on someone else which might cause all kinds of problems from personality conflicts, slowing down productivity, causing turnover, toxifying culture, etc”
