WORK MODE You're hired!
Research says the following 10 types
are most likely to be gainfully employed. Do you see yourself here?
The go-getters, the whiners, the
strugglers, and the hard workers -it takes all kinds (read: personality types)
to make up an enterprising workplace. This is especially good for small
companies, say human resource managers, as it makes the workplace far more
dynamic. It is essential for small business entrepreneurs to find the right set
to call a team with unique traits. No matter what business or job, there are
some characters every organisation must hire.
THE CHEERLEADER
What's a good sport without a happy bunch of
cheerleaders? All work and no promotion, makes the company disappear in the
market.
So your small law firm maybe known in the circles, but a little push from a marketing guru will make the world aware of your facilities, capabilities, which will result in acquiring more clients. The marketer works in tandem with the founder to position the company that suits his or her vision and build the brand. This personality type is highly assertive, understands urgency and is willing to gamble (even when the founder develops cold feet).

THE MULTI-TASKER
What's the difference between an accommodator
and multi-tasker? The former is a `willing personality', while the latter is
just blessed to focus on too many things at the same time. But as an owner of a
small business, you need an accommodator in your squad, too. Read: These
personalities are not spineless `yes minister' kinds, but understand when they
need to up their game, and do whatever it takes to work with impossible demands
and deadlines.

REVERSE ROLE PLAYER
Small firms have a strong tendency
and leaning to employ people who are like-minded, but HR officials reckon that
a personality whose views and beliefs are opposite of that of the company would
do the latter good and result in growth. He/she would bring in the perspective
and insight that owners would fail to notice. Sometimes, they'll also serve as
mock rivals, thus further enhancing the chances of success and productivity.
THE DECISION MAKER
When an entrepreneur has just started
off in the business, he/she is always a bit averse to taking big risks and
making concrete decisions. They are constantly turning to people who can use
their own judgment and give them sound advice. Remember, they need someone who
is not afraid to pull the trigger in times of dis tress. If you're a firm
decision maker, then you are just the person your boss needs by his/ her side.
THE CAUTIOUS PLAYER
Likewise, if you're the kind of entrepreneur
who has a tendency to run with his /her dreams, an employer who likes to play
it carefully is always a good hand in the team. You need this type of
personality as a counterbalance to risk takers.
They are risk-averse, but sometimes you need such people to bring in stability and caution you from getting too excited and taking on more than your resources can manage.

THE PLANNER
A person skilled in draft ing
policies and plan ning the next action the compa ny must take is a key member
to have in the team. Many serve as efficient executors, but few as effective
planners (who essentially run the ship). These are the guys who can identify
long-term goals, have a vision for the future and can work on a calculated measure
to get there.
THE ORGANISER
It's one thing to be a good strategist, and
another to pull it all together. The best ideas go for a toss if you do not
have someone who is task-oriented to put them into action. So if you are a
master at organising, then it's imperative to add that in your CV.
THE ANALYSER
While the strategist and organiser have their
own skill sets to execute the idea into action,it takes an observant kind -who
has one eye firmly on the markets and another on the rivals -to help you weigh
the pros and cons and work ccordingly.
THE HELPER
If you have wetted your hands in the
hospitality business, and are looking to make a switch, be sure you retain the
`serviceoriented' trait in your next job, too. A person who has a willingness
to help others always makes for a great team player.
They balance administrative qualities, understand urgency and have the patience to deal with finicky clients.
