Recommendation

Life coach Laurie Beth Jones highlights the differences among individual work styles and categorizes them as elements: Earth, Wind, Fire and Water. She explains that if you pay attention to the natural “elemental” ways that people respond to work demands, you can create a more positive and, thus, more productive work environment. The reasoning (perhaps more than the metaphor) makes sense, and certainly beats always asking square pegs to work in round holes. Jones’ approach is a little simplistic but that may help make it easy to use. She also brings in warm references to Jesus and Christianity. getAbstract suggests that this book could be a helpful starting place for understanding work styles and improving team dynamics.

Take-Aways

  • Individual work styles fit four broad categories: Earth, Wind, Fire and Water – or some pairings of these elements.
  • “Earth” people are focused on facts and figures, and getting specific jobs done.
  • “Water” types are people-oriented, and adept at maintaining relationships.
