Personality Profiles

Do You Really Know Your Team?

Do you know your team members strengths and weaknesses?  Do really know them well enough so that you only give them jobs and projects that suit their style of working?

When interviewing for a position can you accurately tell which applicant would be best suited based on their personality and work preferences? Or do you, like most business owners / managers, hire based only on their skills set out in their resume and what they say to you? The problem with the later is that many job applicants downright lie in interviews or embellish parts of their resume to look more attractive to the interviewer.

Do you communicate with each of your team members differently, working to their preferred communication style so that they can really relate to you? If not then you will probably be finding that new team members are not performing as they said they would and your existing team are not performing as you would like, they are not self motivated and they have somewhat switched off.

And this also applies to you the business owner.  Yes you!  Do you know which tasks you are more suited to and therefore which tasks (not all but some of the remainder) you should be delegating to others?  It is your business to know this important information.

There is an easy solution to these and other common staffing problems.  Complete a personality profile on yourself and on your team. Also during the interview stage have the top applicants that you want at a 2nd interview to complete a personality profile.
