Work Types
by Jean M. Kummerow, Nancy J. Barger and Linda K. Kirby

New York: Warner Books, 1995

What's the first thing you do when you arrive at work on Monday morning?

  • Greet your co-workers and check out their weekends
  • Get right to work and tune out the noise around you
  • Hope something unexpected will arise to change the week's routine
  • Start organizing your week on a to-do list

Your choice reflects your WORKType, a psychological profile based on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®), the inventory used by thousands of professionals worldwide. Now three Myers-Briggs experts help you discover your workstyle and strengths in the workplace and use them to improve communications, capitalize on teamwork, reduce stress, and find the best time management approach for you. You'll learn how to:

  • Make meetings more productive
  • Get recognition for your ideas
  • Diffuse interpersonal conflicts and tension
  • Handle change more easily
  • Feel more energized -- not drained -- by your job

Complete with examples of how each WORKType functions, this dynamic book will help you make the most of your WORKType -- with coworkers, bosses, and most of all, yourself!
