Note from bmpconsulting: I received a free copy of the book Reading People from the publisher (Baker) when I was selected for the launch team. But I had also pre-ordered it before I was chosen for the launch team. Thoughts are my own.
Nonprofits are established to make a difference in a particular subject/topic in a specific location. But, in essence, nonprofits are about people – from the board of directors, staff, and volunteers leading the nonprofit and fulfilling the nonprofit’s mission to the clientele taking part in the services offered. Every nonprofit relies on interactions with people. And I don’t need to tell you that people can be pretty different from one another.
One thing that helps us make sense of people’s differences is personality frameworks like Myers-Briggs, StrengthsFinder, or Enneagram. Knowledge is power. And knowing the personalities represented by you and your nonprofit team and how you can work together is very powerful knowledge.
But there is lots of information to shift through to learn about each personality framework. That’s where Anne Bogel’s new book Reading People: How Seeing the World through the Lens of Personality Changes Everything comes in. In Reading People, Anne Bogel summarizes seven of the most popular personality frameworks and presents the information in a way that is more accessible and less intimidating for everyone to understand. Reading People is an insightful, helpful, conversational start to the world of personality frameworks and knowing yourself and those you work with better.
Reading People comes out on September 19, but you can preorder it now and receive exclusive bonuses.
