Highly successful organizations spend substantial resources developing psychological capital in their employees by teaching them how to work with people constructively. Otherwise, productive work time is spent learning how to work with people and attaining a common goal. People who can effectively relate to others using a heightened intrapersonal and interpersonal intellect generate a positive achievement curve irrespective of their work involvement. Personality disputes can be detrimental; compassionately understanding what motivates, validates, and esteems others can help mitigate differences with Christ-like empathy. This presentation helps participants understand their own personality characteristics, and what fosters their own motivation, validation, and esteem, as well as that of others. Participants learn to understand how different personality types can work toggether, even with different mindsets among members in a group.
