Hi All A new #5minpodcast episode is now available. 🎙️ This time I decided to talk about the Big Five personality traits and their application in project management. The Big Five outlines five personality dimensions: openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism. All of us have these five dimensions combined at different levels, and this is what shapes our behaviors and our personality. Going further, each of these traits could influence individual performance on different types of projects. For instance, some projects may need more openness than conscientiousness, while others may need more extraversion than conscientiousness. I found these models very helpful when putting together project teams and figuring out what personality traits would work best for each project. Finally, there are many online assessments for the Big Five. I strongly suggest that you try them. I did mine yesterday, and I was pretty happy with the result. It reflected nicely how I see myself 😊 I hope you enjoy the episode. Feel free to share your comments and thoughts. Do you find them helpful or not in our work? I am asking this because several psychologists have strong concerns about using this taxonomy to address such a complex topic as personality. Let me know your thoughts. Have a great week!
