Even though everybody has said this phrase at least once in their life and it is a well known recognized paradigm this is a totally wrong concept. Each individual is different from each other, therefore they have different rules, beliefs, identities and motivational strategies.
Not only in different cultures what is accepted in one place can be offensive in others, it also happens in the same country, in the same office , in the same home..... we were all borned in different places, with different families and even if born in the same family we had different social experiences and therefore learned different strategies in order to survive and be accepted in the group. Our identities have been shaped by our experiences, our beliefs..... that is why they are all different and unique.
Lots of studies have been made since ancient times in order to try to simplify and create what "so called" personality types in order to be able to study human behaviour. Once having clear the personality type of each individual , their beliefs, rules and motivational strategies we must do a big effort to treat and motivate each person in the best way for them, in order to achieve their 100% potential.
Everybody is able to perform at a top level if motivated properly, the reason you or your team is not at peak performance is only the excuse you chose to justify it.
Please dont forget, teamleaders, co workers...... everybody:
Dont treat others as YOU like to be treated
Treat others as THEY like to be treated!
