✦ Synopsis

There are hundreds of ways to make a difference: in process, in outcomes, with tasks or with people. And from the latest business bestsellers to over 28 million hits on Google, people in every walk of life are seeking answers. Building on the powerful fundamentals of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator(R) assessment and drawing on survey data from more than 500 people at every level of the organization, Making a Difference by Being Yourself offers a simplified framework that identifies four key personality types--stabilizers, harmonizers, catalysts, and visionaries--and shows how to go beyond a simple understanding of who we are to actually put into practice--purposefully and consciously--the strengths of our own personalities and styles in ways that can make a meaningful difference.
