Maximizing Your Employee Potential
For use with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® & Striving Styles® Personality System
Unlock Your Authentic Employee Potential: Understand Your Strengths and Thrive at Work
What This Book Explores
Success at work is about more than having the skills to do the job. It depends on understanding what motivates you, how you naturally contribute, what brings out your best, and what can interfere with your performance.
Each of the 16 books in the Maximizing Your Employee Potential series is written for a specific Personality Type and Striving Style®. Your book provides insight into how you approach work, relationships, expectations, problem-solving, and performance. It explains the psychological and emotional needs that drive your behavior at work, along with the conditions that help you remain engaged, productive, and satisfied.
You’ll learn:
- The strengths and natural abilities you bring to your role.
- The work conditions that satisfy your needs and support performance.
- The situations that may frustrate you or activate self-protective behaviours.
- How your manager and colleagues can better understand and work with you.
- The development areas that will help you achieve more of your potential.
When you understand what you need to perform at your best, you can take greater responsibility for creating success at work.
Self-Awareness Is the Foundation of Potential at Work
You can’t develop what you don’t understand.
Knowledge of your Personality Type, Striving Style®, and brain organization provides a foundation for understanding your behaviour, motivation, and needs at work. It helps you recognize why some responsibilities energize you, why certain environments drain you, and why you respond the way you do under pressure.
This insight allows you to build on your strengths, develop the parts of yourself that are less natural, and communicate more clearly about what you need to succeed. It also helps you distinguish between a role that stretches you in a healthy way and a work environment that repeatedly prevents you from performing at your best.
Self-awareness gives you the ability to make more intentional choices, strengthen workplace relationships, and move toward your full potential as an employee.
A RESOURCE FOR INDIVIDUALs, LEADERS, human resources, AND ORGANIZATIONS
For individuals, this series helps you understand how you naturally work, what you need from your role and manager, and what behaviours will help you grow. It gives you language to communicate your strengths, your needs, and the conditions in which you can contribute most effectively.
For leaders, it provides practical insight into how different employees are motivated, managed, developed, and supported. Leaders can use this understanding to bring out stronger performance, improve communication, and tailor their approach to the needs of each employee.
For Human Resources professionals, the series offers a valuable resource for employee development, onboarding, coaching, engagement, performance conversations, succession planning, and retention.
For organizations, it supports a workplace where employees are understood, developed, and positioned to contribute at a higher level. When people are given the conditions they need to succeed, organizations benefit from stronger performance, greater commitment, and better use of talent.
The Maximizing Your Employee Potential series helps turn personality insight into practical action at work. It gives employees and those who lead them a clearer understanding of how to strengthen performance, improve working relationships, and create the conditions in which people can achieve more of their potential.
GO BEYOND KNOWING YOUR MBTI PERSONALITY TYPE
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) identifies your four-letter personality type and gives you a valuable starting point for understanding your natural work preferences.
The Striving Styles® Personality System Assessment includes your MBTI® type and goes further. It reveals the psychological needs that drive your behavior at work, the conditions that help you perform at your best, and the patterns that can limit your effectiveness under stress or when development is needed.
Your personalized employee potential book helps you understand your strengths, your workplace needs, how you prefer to be managed, and the development required to increase your contribution and satisfaction at work.
