working with the Type A personality

One of the main challenges the type A personality faces is when he has to work with a team or with a group of people whom are not Type A’s. Usually the Type A ends up either not satisfied by their progress or having a quarrel with them.

what makes working with the Type A personality difficult?

The main problem with working with the Type A arises from the following points:

• when people don’t have high time urgency: what can really drive a type A mad is when he finds that people don’t put much weight to the passage of time, if you want to get along with a type A make sure that at least pay some attention to your progress with respect to time
• when people don’t achieve much: the average type A usually achieves more than double the achievement of other people in the same period of time (maybe more than double), when the type A finds that people he is working with don’t achieve that much he may get annoyed.

when the Type A becomes an entrepreneur

When a Type A takes an initial step to start his own business, he will usually have major problems with all of those who work with him, because in that case the Type A goes beyond his extremes in order for his business to rise,and of course no one will ever be able to match the efficiency or the speed of a type A when he works that hard and so problems arise. At that time the type A usually becomes very criticizing to whomever who don’t work hard nor match his speed.

advice for the type A

The best thing you can do as type a when getting involved into a team is to find another type A’s to work with, not only this will help in avoiding the problems that we mentioned but it will also lead to an outstanding performance.

If you cant find another Type A to work with, then try to understand that people are different and that we all not all the same, by knowing about other personality types you can develop a good understanding of the people around you and so you will reduce the conflict.

did that help?

yes but tell me how to know about other personality types?
