Even the difficult ones
Since the COVID epidemic that changed so much of life as we once knew it, it would be a fair comment to say that the world of Commerce underwent massive change in the way business was conducted on a day to day basis.
Many people have remained working from home only going into the workplace for limited days per week or fortnight. It also highlighted the importance of being able to get on with the members of your team, your workplace and your community, in what has now become the new normal of the modern workplace.
The old style of management has had to move aside to take into consideration vastly differing work structures and ethics, as well as allowing everyone to deliver their best standards of work, regardless of whether they are in the office on a daily basis or working remotely.
How To Get On With Anyone is a practical, authentic and well-constructed course or guide on understanding people and how they can deliver their best possible outcomes by recognising their strengths and weaknesses: that with the right encouragement the very best results are obtainable on all levels.
Everyone has a personality style, which will fit into one of the four interaction models originally developed by Linda Beren in the USA in 2001, which for clarity are referred to as Mobilisers, Navigators, Energisers and Synthesisers. To understand how this works the first section looks at how we work, who we are and ‘What’s Your Style’ which makes fascinating reading.
Section Two shows to recognise these styles in other people and the best way to manage, work with and deal with conflict both at home and I the workplace. Positives and negatives are investigated as are the many psychological aspects of communication, as well as the external influences that come into play to build a successful team.
The final section looks at the application of strategies, leading others and the art of successful communication. It also covers the ground of building and recognising self-confidence, resilience and re-energising when the need arises. The overriding message is that people are very social creatures; each one unique, each one with the need to be recognised and valued, each one excelling when they feel valued and understood.
How To get On With Anyone it is more than just a book for business development, it is a course in discovering who you really are, how you can understand and relate to others who have differing personality styles and how, both at home and work, by developing a better understanding of peoples’ characteristics, you a can be a happier, more productive and inclusive person.
Anyone who is in a management position or directs a group of people should read this invaluable book on how to be the very best based on understanding and acceptance.
