[question]
You briefly mentioned using Myers Briggs to better understand your employees and/or co-workers. Can you talk a bit more about how you use this tool?
[/question]
[answer]
In a smaller online publishing business, the people you hire are one of the major keys to your success. Those who don’t possess the qualities of an entrepreneur are unlikely to last very long in your business.
The print-to-online transition usually means saying goodbye to 9-5 and hello to 2am blog corrections. If you want to learn more about your employees, offer them the option to learn more about their personality type with the Myers Briggs MBTI personality test.
The results of the test indicate 16 distinctive personality types and will also help you determine how to communicate more effectively with your staff. The key is to know yourself and your team members by type, to respect them for who they are and for who they need to be, in order to become an effective member of the team.
