Effectively Collaborate Across Personalities

CareerCast by the University of Chicago Booth School of Business

Do you sometimes feel that your colleagues don’t understand who you are and what are you saying? According to Devora Zack, global keynote speaker, leadership consultant, and author of several books, including, The Cactus and Snowflake at Work, we often work with individuals of different temperaments who can seem as different as the logical cactus and sensitive snowflake. The good news is that can be great for the strength of the team and the company – if you take time to understand how “the other half lives” and works. In this CareerCast, Devora shares her research, insights, and humor-infused wisdom to help you collaborate more effectively with cacti and snowflakes.
