Ever wondered why everyone loves to work with certain people, while some people are generally avoided at the workplace? This 2×2 matrix represents the workplace personality types at work.
Think about how your co-workers would rate you on two parameters – Competence and likability
Then classify yourself among one of the below four workplace personality types:
- Lovable stars
- These people are both competent and likable
- They are very good at work and possess high interpersonal skills
- They are most desirable by co-workers and managers
- This is the best category to be in
- Competent jerks
- They are highly competent but difficult to deal with
- In general, co-workers don’t like to work with them
- But managers put up with them because of their ability to get work done
- Improving on interpersonal skills can help them turn into lovable stars
- Lovable fools
- They are not so good at work, but their co-workers enjoy working with them
- They risk losing out sometimes, as their managers might give preference to a more competent person
- Incompetent jerks
- They are neither good at work, nor easy to deal with
- These are the most avoidable people at work
