Synopsis

'By nature, by instinct, by personality, people react differently and use different techniques and ways of dealing with a situation. Success in the future will come to those who see people as unique individuals, with unique talents. Rather than just selecting people with the right skills, winning organizations will be those that also focus on selecting people with the skills who are also suited by temperament to complete the task successfully.

From AudioFile:

A superb cast brings to life the authors' lesson on how to manage the varied talents and personalities of people in organizations. They broadly classify people as Helpers, Challengers, Explorers, and Maintainers. Each group has three roles or subtypes, which the authors explain with short vignettes.

Most of the prescriptions for working with types and subtypes make sense, while a few stand out more for their excessive detail.
