Three Ways to Optimize for Employees with Different Work Styles

40 percent of workers report difficulties with conflicting personalities in the workplace. However, a range of personalities can lead to a diverse team and better results. Firstly, appreciate each team member's strengths and let them play to their strengths. Secondly, make room for more introverted team members who need time to prepare their thoughts before meetings, can focus for long periods of time and catch potential risks or blind spots. And finally, create a flexible work environment by providing designated quiet spaces and opportunities for freewheeling conversations that spawn brainstorming sessions to help creativity galvanize.
