This episode continues our journey through the Meta Programs (LAB Profile). We discuss a person's working style - how a person does their best: do they like to work alone, with others around them, or work in a true team. With many people working from home these days this is useful information to help them discover why they are continuing to keep their productivity up or why they have trouble being motivated. Another pattern is the Working Organization: where does a person put their attention - on People, Place, Thing (Task or Process), Information, Activity, Money, or Time. Our third pattern is about stress response; how do we react to normal stress: Thinking (first responder-like), Choice (go into emotion and then come out), or Feeling (go into emotion and stay there).  In the world of business, these patterns are important because getting the right person in the right job maximizes the productivity and happiness of the individual as well as the company.  If you like to work around people with your own responsibilities, working by yourself will reduce your productivity. If you like to work alone and are forced to work around others, your productivity will go down. If you like shared responsibility (the true team), you will have a difficult time carrying parts of projects by yourself. By the way, Americans, in general, are not good with true teams. The majority of workers in the U.S. are proximity workers - love to work around others and have their own responsibilities.  Knowing how you work and the situations that make you the happiest will enhance your working life and your income.
