As leaders, knowing ourselves is an important aspect of
leadership that is too often overlooked.
Do you have a good understand of what ‘type’ of person you are? Are you an extrovert or an introvert? Do you like working with people or with
things? Are you more a thinker or a
doer? Have you put any thought into the
fact that the people you often like to work with or be around have similar
traits to you, and that the people you don’t like to work with have different
traits? This is usually all lumped into
the broad concept of “personality types” or “interaction styles”, of which here
are many models. While many people may
get the chance to take a personality/interaction test at work or maybe school,
not everyone gets the chance.
