personality issue.

17. Dealing with workplace personality issues can
be challenging as it rarely the case that either
person is right or wrong.
Often, simple misunderstandings arise
because of the different ways that people
communicate, collaborate or prioritise.
However, if left unaddressed, personality
issues like these can fester and become toxic,
leaving a negative impact on the individuals
and those around them too.

18. How to Manage Workplace Personalities
See people objectively, not personally
Judging others based on personal preferences
can lead to frustration when they don't meet our
expectations. Accepting individuals' viewpoints,
traits, and backgrounds without forming an
opinion makes it easier to let things go and
embrace others for who they are.
Ask questions to challenge your
confirmation bias
Instead of avoiding different perspectives, engage
with them to broaden your understanding and
approach. Different personality types can offer
valuable insights that expand your thinking and
working methods.
Focus on the common goal to unite
diverse perspectives
Despite different views and backgrounds, everyone
shares the goal of getting the job done. Foster an
open, safe environment where all professional
opinions are valued, boosting motivation,
accountability, and success.
Adapt your communication style to
match the other person.
For introverts, choose one-on-one conversations to
make them comfortable. For extroverts, engage
them in group settings where they can share their
ideas with others, fostering a collaborative
environment.
Remember, people are complex.
Beyond personality types, our moods and emotions,
influenced by personal lives, also affect us.
While we try to separate work from personal issues,
it's important to recognise that everyone has internal
struggles. Offering a bit of understanding can go a
long way.
