    Medical Transcription - The Time Factor
    In the US it is mandatory for medical professionals to keep an accurate medical record of all aspects of a patient. The medical professionals gather the data related to the patient in audio format by using a dictaphone or voice recorder. The details of the patient are then transcribed in text form. This process of transforming dictation of physicians and other healthcare professionals from audio format to written text is known as Medical Transcription (MT). This written text may be stored as printed and/or electronic data. The preferred means of data storage are electronic medical records, which allows medical professionals the ability t

    The Artisan thinks:

    I wish I could figure that Rational out. He is always right, but I hate the way he tells us that. Why can't he find a better way to say things, then everyone won't get upset. I wish I could draw out the Guardian, he is always so quiet and careful. I know he really wants to be a part of things. I will have to think of some way to get him involved. Oh my, the Idealist is getting excited again. I wish she would think before she speaks, then we would have less upset in this group.

    Hostess Coaching - Your Roadway to Successful Home Shows
    Many direct sales distributors rely heavily on home shows to market their products. Unfortunately, this method of marketing seems to be a bit more challenging than in previous decades.While many of your friends and family may have good intentions of opening up their homes, the busy lifestyle that has swept the nation prevents many hostesses from following through with their original intent. Sporting events, school breaks, holidays, illnesses and weather conditions are only a few of the factors leading to low party attendance or cancellations.In a world where shopping on the internet has become rather convenient, we seem to hav
    Disaster can be avoided! When a company evaluates team player's personalities, encourages the strengths of the player and teaches them how to handle their weaknesses, then everyone wins! The employer, the employee, and the bottom line!

    Now that we looked at each personality type, it is time to figure out how to get them to all work together well.

    Looking at the personality types below, evaluate each personality type and their relation to each other. i.e. A Rational is goal-oriented vs an Idealist who is people-oriented.

    Rational

    Value to Team: Goal-oriented
    Decision Making: Decides with goals in mind
    Emotional Response: Independent
    Stress Behavior: Dominates when stressed

    Idealist

    Value to Team: People-oriented
    Decision Making: Decides quickly
    Emotional Response: Excitable
    Stress Behavior: Attacks when stressed

    Artisan

    Value to Team: Relationship-oriented
    Decision Making: Decides after input from others
    Emotional Response: Warm and friendly
    Stress Behavior: Gives in to stressor

    Guardian

    Value to Team: Detail-oriented
    Decision Making: Decides reluctantly
    Emotional Response: Careful, measured
    Stress Behavior: Avoids stressor

    Let’s look at the thoughts of each personality as they work together on a project:

    The Rational thinks:

    I've got to complete this project. I wish the Idealist would stop talking and listen. They always try to grab attention when I am trying to get something done. Why does it matter what everybody thinks? I have the only correct solution. No, Guardian you don't need all that information to make a decision, just make it will you?! Where are you going now? Come back here, I will tone it down. That Artisan is really good with people, wish I could be. But I can't stand it when I have to stop to hear what everybody thinks, doesn't he know I have the correct answer? He will side with me anyway; he always does.

    The Idealist thinks:

    Who is this guy? This Rational thinks he knows everything! Who decided he was in charge? He is so pushy, I don't think I can handle this guy much more. He thinks I am stupid, never waits for me to finish my sentence, like what I have to say doesn't matter. I think I will complain to the boss. That Guardian sure is quiet. I like him, he listens to me. I just wish he would make up his mind, we don't have that much time to finish this! Oh the Artisan sure is nice and she always agrees with me, isn't that great? She gets along with everybody.

    How To Advertise Your Internet Business and Drive Traffic and Sales for Pennies
    We have all seen advertisements promising targeted traffic and massive sales, but most of these are scams and rarely do they produce the traffic and sales that are promised. Even Pay Per Click (PPC) advertising on search engines like Google and Yahoo have gotten so expensive for good keywords that the costs now greatly outweigh any profits you could make with your internet business. On average it costs $20 - $100 per item sold through Google. This is no way to make money and will actually cost your internet business more than it is worth. As advertising and other costs continue to rise due to the poor management of our economy by Presid

    Construction Job Costing for Profit
    It is not enough to look at the bottom line of your profit and loss statement to determine how profitable your company is, but to also examine each job for profitability. You could conceivably being making a company wide profit but loosing money on some jobs.What costs should be included in your job costs reports? Materials, Labor and Subcontractor costs are the obvious. However, there are other costs to consider such as labor and overhead burden and equipment costs for example. Labor burden consists of payroll tax expenses (FICA, SUTA, and FUTA) and other payroll related costs such as workman’s compensation insurance and general l

    Job Searching During the Holidays?
    A common misperception on the part of job seekers is that the holidays are a poor time for job hunting prospects. As a professional recruiter, here are three reasons why the holiday period is in fact an excellent time to seek a new opportunity:1. New budgets generally call for hiring additional resources. The budgeting process for the coming year generally takes place the final quarter of the year. With new business strategies mapped out, senior management aggressively begin to look for prime talent. This is an excellent chance for candidates to passively market themselves through networked contacts or recruiters. Make yourself availab

    Organically Grown Business - Key In The Global Economy
    In todays global economy we can no longer assume that all business ventures are viable for growth in any given marketplace soil. Passion and hard work are just not enough. Where you grow your economic crop is now key to success.Labour intensive manufacturing in the North American marketplace has been transitioning to provinces, states and countries where the nutrients required to be profitable are a labour force of much lower costs and greater stimulus offered for rapid growth; tax incentives, power considerations etc.The manufacturing sector provides a very strong case for the "Organics" that need to be considered when opening

    The Guardian thinks:

    Where is all the data? I can't decide without it. Why does that Rational always try to push me into a decision when I don't have all the facts? I hope he doesn't start yelling again in this meeting. That Artisan is so nice. I wish I knew what she wanted from me. She makes me feel like important, but she seems to expect more from me. Oh no, here comes that Idealist, she gives me a headache. Way too excited and she doesn't even know why. Just starts talking and moving around. She distracts from everything, why can't she sit down and shut up?

    Are you on the way to understanding the different perspectives? If so then you can begin the process of teaching each of these personality types to appreciate each other's strengths and help them to overcome their weaknesses.

    Appreciating Strengths and Overcoming Weaknesses

    First, identify the personality types on the team. Have each member of the team take a personality test. It is important that those taking the test recognize that this is important to their ability to work with others. The Keirsey Temperament test is here.

    Second reinforce the strengths of each team member. Do this through discussion, role playing, and using opportunities to teach them about their own personality. Point out each person's strengths, or asking each member to describe their role within the team and why. These are good first meeting exercises.

    Last, invest in training to further employee and management's knowledge of themselves and each other. This will positively impact the bottom line. Projects deadlines get met, members gain an appreciation of each other, and personnel headaches disappear.
