According to Harvard Business Review, 2002 “87% of business issues are due to the lack of interpersonal communication and not due to skill deficiencies”
The success of every business depends on people and the interpersonal relationships between them.
The communication and understanding between internal teams determines the level of success, productivity, collaboration and efficiency.
The communication and relationship with external partners, agencies, vendors, clients, various authorities is critical for business growth as well.Whichever area of business we look at we see people – real people with a variety of emotional needs. If we do not understand the core needs of people we cannot achieve a higher level of success.
The core beliefs that people carry define their emotional and behavioral patterns. Psycho-Geometrics divides our world into five personality types identified by five Geometric Shapes – the Box, Triangle, Rectangle, Circle and Squiggle!
- The Box personality expects orderliness, accuracy and persistence. And their core needs are security, certainty, objectivity and perfection.
- The Triangle personality expects autonomy & authority, visibility & credit for achievements. Their core needs are success, achievement, power and status.
- The Rectangle personality expects support & mentoring, freedom to try many options. Their core needs are discovery, direction, attention and support.
- The Circle personality expects to work In a caring, trustworthy and open environment. Their core needs are love, intimacy, harmony and deep connections.
- The Squiggle personality expects freedom to explore, variety of people and tasks, excitement, change, variety and spontaneity.
