A good leader will get to know his subordinates personalities and allow them to participate. This gives them ownership in whatever project they are doing. Don Stamile Chief Instructor

I think employees with different personality types can be a useful tool to managers. A diversity of personalities can bring forth a variety of ideas and methods to help managers decide who is best at getting the job done. Don Stamile Chief Instructor

Depending on the number of people you supervize, I have found the better you know them the easier it is to use a management style that works best to get the job done. Don Stamile Chief Instructor

To answer Mary's question- I get to know each of my student's as personally as possible so I can monitor their behavior. I look for anything that may interfere with their learning. For example, changes in mood, tardiness, absenteeism, not paying attention or failing to retain information, mind appears to be elsewhere (not focused). If I do observe any of these behaviors, I immediately take steps with the student to correct them to ensure their success.

Getting to know each of your students, watching their attitude and behaviors, and demonstrating a true caring for their success will help keep students in school.
