its a good thing because there might indeed be a better solution,
but most of the time its just someone being too critical. They tend
to procrastinate when making decisions. Slide 13 The Analyst Listen
to what they have to say, if you feel it is going nowhere, take
their suggestions and move quickly onto the next subject. This
would be a good person to give projects like finding possible
trouble producing trends that requires deep analytical
investigation. This is more of a just the facts type of person.
Dont waste either of your time to chat about subjects of little
importance. Slide 14 The Sensitive Slide 15 Slide 16 Takes any type

The Quiet Slide 27 Slide 28 One who very rarely talks at meetings.
Seems to have low self-esteem. Continually is sub-conscious of
their actions. Slide 29 The Quiet Not only should you try to bring
this person out of their shell, they just might have some brilliant
ideas that you can incorporate. There can be power in the quiet
person as they might be the ones with the most compelling ideas. We
tend to give our attention to the commanding personalities and
ignore the quiet and soft-spoken. On the contrary, the quiet people
are the ones you need to seek out. Slide 30 The Results-Driven

sometimes lose focus on the big picture. They feel like they are
doing a great job because of meeting an important goal. However,
they are doing a poor job on another aspect of the job. Slide 33
The Results-Driven You need to get your point across by being
direct. You have to stress the importance of the big picture and to
use common sense. This is the type of person who will stop
troubleshooting a problem, even if they are close to fixing it,
because they went over the average handle time. This person is
usually more suited for simple straightforward tasks that do not
require thinking outside of the box. Slide 34 The Loner Slide 35

picnics, break room conversations, or any non-work related
subjects. They do not like any interaction with fellow employees.
Slide 37 The Loner Talk to them about the importance and reasoning
of the team approach. It is to their benefit if the team exceeds. A
person who does not want to be part of a team usually ends up not
fully understanding the expectations of the group, and will have
the type of excuse like, Nobody told me or I did not know I was
supposed to do that etc. This person might be a diamond in the
rough, see if there is another position that would be better suited
for them. Try to get this person out of their shell, and give them
projects that do not demand a team effort. Slide 38 The

headed in the wrong direction. Slide 42 The Curmudgeon Slide 43

take supervision well. Tend to be grumpy and sarcastic. They have a
pessimistic glass is half-empty point of view. Slide 45 The

your tail between your legs. State the facts and let them know
exactly what is expected of them. Use a matter of fact approach and
try to give them projects that do not demand too much creativity or
touchy-feely. Slide 46 The Mean-Spirited Slide 47 Slide 48 If you
feel that it is affecting morale, you should talk to this person.
Make sure they understand that you need a chapter that works in
harmony. That the goal is to a have everyone work in a pleasant
atmosphere in which there are no personality conflicts. Slide 49
The Mean-Spirited Makes it known that they are not happy with the
Chapter or the people around them. In many cases it is due to
problems that are not chapter related at all. Slide 50 The

their attitude is affecting morale and is unacceptable. Remember
the saying One Bad Apple will spoil the whole bunch. Be willing to
loose this member entirely. These are not the individuals we are
looking for so be willing to let go.
