“The rules for work are changing. …we’re being judged by a new yardstick:

not just how smart we are,

or our expertise,but also how well we

handle ourselves and each other.”

Daniel Goleman

49

Temperament Intelligence is central to DIVERSITY

Understanding – awareness of differences

Appreciating – acknowledging the value of differences

Embracing – seeking out differences

Maximizing – leveraging for organizational gain

“…..how we manage and engage people who are different and similar, all for the benefit of the organization and its goals.”

50

THE DILEMMA AND THE OPPORTUNITY

Satir Virginia. Conjoint Family Therapy, Palo Alto, California: Science and Behavior Books. 1967.

“No two people think alike on everything. No two people feel the same way at all times within a relationship. No two people want the same things or want them at the same time. People operate from different time tables. We are, in fact, autonomous, different, and unique beings. Yet we are, at the same time, dependent on others. We need them to help us get many of the things we want (or not prevent us from getting them). We are also dependent on others to validate our

existence and worth.”
