Herrmann's Headlines December 2009

Australian Edition—December 2009

Highlights this month:

Are you drained at work? Get energised by understanding your native and acquired thinking preferences.

Have you ever noticed how certain activities and tasks energise you while others drain you? The reasons for this may be rooted in 'native' vs 'acquired' thinking styles. And if your daily work demands heavily on your acquired skills, you may find that it feels less positive and more energy draining.

In a new article by Herrmann Certified Practitioners Ann McGee-Cooper, Ed.D and Duane Trammell, M.Ed, the authors discuss the differences between 'native' and 'acquired' thinking styles and how they impact your work satisfaction as well as your leadership and mentoring skills. This article will help you discover ways you can find a positive balance in order to rejuvenate your daily work life and reach new levels of job satisfaction.
