Corporate Training
PERSONALITY + LEADERSHIP
Achieving compatibility in the workplace to optimize productivity
Overview
Personality is how we navigate the world; we all navigate it differently because each of us has a unique personality. This training brings meaningful insights into the team members’ personalities, which enhances the team’s orientation more cohesively in their pursuit of excellence. This is achieved by each individual understanding their personality and their team members’ personalities in a professional context that broadens the team’s collective values and strengths.
Training Development
Personality, particularly certain traits, is the second most reliable predictor of life success outcomes, second only to IQ. The Five-Factor Model (also known as the Big 5, which we will use from this point on) is regarded as the most psychometrically valid personality model. The scientific methods used to conduct research for this model are more advanced than those used during the development of other personality models, most notably, the Myers-Briggs. This is not discount the value of the Myers-Briggs, but to provide scientific insights into the fact that it has been disproved by modern science, which indicates that it is not reliable nor predictable. There are other popular personality models commonly used in corporate settings, but there is no need to mention them here due to the lack of scientific validation they hold.
Course Content
The course includes a general overview of personality catered to professional settings. First, the overview will cover the concepts of personality relative to corporate-level needs. Then, each participant will undergo a brief individual consultation to discuss the highlights of their Big 5 assessment results. The majority of the course will then consist of interactive group sessions to discuss the implications of personality as individuals and the interactional dynamics of the team as a whole. Lastly, a discussion will be held to discuss strategic optimization based on the team’s dynamics, given each members’ personality.
Goals
The goals of this course are to teach individuals of a professional team not only how to gain insights into their personalities but also how to continue doing so long after the training. Additionally, the goals of this training are designed to help each team member utilize the strengths of their personality and accurately identify the nuance of the faults of them so that personal development can be done with greater precision. Lastly, the collective awareness of the strengths and faults of other team members’ personalities gives rise to achieving a level of compatibility unparalleled by any other aspects of human nature. With the successful implementation of the training material, your team will have acquired an invaluable asset in its repertoire of skills for continually improving the excellence of your productivity.
