You look at it exactly as you would a human candidate—assessing […]

However, the modern work environment, characterized by the rise of remote work, hybrid teams, and growing employee autonomy, calls for a revision of this belief. Increasingly, a team’s ability to function in the absence of their manager […]

Insights

The meeting took place on time and was very substantive, but it was poorly assessed. What was the reason? People in lower positions did not show the proper amount of respect to their superior. It was so strange that everyone met in a good restaurant, talked, took a taxi; it was relaxed, pleasant and friendly. […]

Trivia

#
Does our personality change over the course of our lives?
Research by Markey and Tinsley in 2004 shows that personality traits are relatively stable from preschool to adulthood. However, with age, agreeableness and conscientiousness increase, and neuroticism decreases.
#
Inheritance of personality traits
According to research, we inherit a lot of personality traits. And so it is believed that 54% of us inherit extraversion, 49% conscientiousness, 48% neuroticism, and 42% agreeableness. The research dates back to 2003 and was performed on twins.
#
Temperament vs. Personality
The debate over what is temperament and what is personality is still ongoing. However, one can risk saying that “temperament is a non-verbalized personality”, i.e. temperament and personality describe similar or the very same features. Temperament is anchored in the biochemical system of the brain, and personality is a socio-cultural product built on temperament.

Em teaches schoolchildren communication skills.
Intensive relationship building, developing interpersonal skills and learning the art of communication are all necessary when at school.

As a result, young people […]

School counselors and school psychologists play a key role in […]
