How can knowledge of personality types improve teamwork in your business? Join Andrea Wenger for the webinar Improving Teamwork Using the Myers-Briggs Personality Type on Wednesday, 15 June, from 1:00-2:00 PM EDT (GMT-4) to explore how an understanding of personality types can help workplace teams turn differences from liabilities into assets.
Technical communicators work with cross-functional teams, including engineers, developers, marketing professionals, technical support representatives, and other communication professionals such as editors and translators. These teams are likely to be composed of individuals whose backgrounds and interests differ widely from the technical communicator. An understanding of the Myers-Briggs personality types helps us to understand and appreciate those whose talents and values differ from our own, leading to better communication and fewer conflicts. Explore it with Andrea Wenger and STC!
