Abstract: In a rapidly changing world, where the focus has shifted from bricks and machines to people, managers are required to deliver on organisational objectives while also planning for and managing people at both the individual and the team level.A manager's temperament significantly influences leadership style, communication and decision-making.This paper explores what personality mapping means for managers and how it can strengthen their self-awareness.Personality mapping helps managers identify their own personality characteristics and behaviours and, most importantly, the areas in which they can grow.The authors also argue that, when used as a tool for self-reflection, personality mapping can help young adults become more ethically minded and more aware of their own self-perceptions.By being self-aware, managers can lead better, manage their teams more effectively and handle a wide range of work-related situations with greater confidence.I believe that anyone who sets out to manage others should first understand his or her own personality.
