Personality Style at Work:

What is Your Time Management Style?

Recognizing Personality Styles Boosts Productivity & Morale

Considerate Style Time Management

People with a Considerate style put people before time. They will interrupt their own work in order to help others complete their work. They often take on more than they can handle in the interest of helping others. Or, in other words, they can’t say no! They may also jeopardize their deadlines by not being forceful enough in asking for what they need.

If you’re working with someone who often asks what he can do to help you, you’re probably working with someone with a Considerate style. To work effectively with this style, be aware of their tendency to overcommit, and make sure they haven’t taken on more than they can complete. Find a way for them to share their concerns before they become a problem that delays a project or causes a deadline to be missed.
