Diversity, after all is one of our society’s current concerns. Millions of pounds are poured into training professionals in issues of age, gender, race and religion in an attempt to make us all more tolerant and less judgemental of each other. Yet it seems that with all the talk of diversity, one of the most important areas is overlooked, differences in personality. Way back as far as 460 BC, ‘personality’ was big business. Hippocrates realised that people could be identified into four specific groups by their behaviours and throughout history philosophers and psychologists have agreed that people can be divided into four basic personality types. Carl Jung’s work in the 1920’s is the basis of much of what is used today in many of the different personality profiling tools available. The building blocks of the universe are contained in the elements- earth, water, wind and fire, so what better words to help us understand the elemental make up of our own personalities and those of our teams, whether in the workplace or the family We use the unique PEP™ profile which gives detailed individual profiles, provides the option for a matrix between any two people as well as team comparison charts which has great benefits for relationship issues in the workplace. Is some perceived ‘bullying’ in the workplace actually one personality type reacting to what it misunderstands in another? Dysfunctional teams have been transformed and others who get on well but seem to lack the ability to achieve all they could, come to realise the need to appreciate others who are different from themselves – and whose traits they may at times find frustrating – but which are essential to bring a balance to the team. Once each team member understands the elements that best represent their own personality and can see how their own communication style differs from that of others on the team, there will be a new awareness of the hidden strengths of each individual.
