There are different types in every workplace. Some more difficult to manage than others.
The issue for managers is providing the right mix of feedback and attention to the different personality types. And with workplaces becoming more and more diverse, that's becoming a challenge.
The Wall Street Journal's CareerJournal.com has broken them down into four different types:
* The "get it done" type: The work horse. Totally focused even if it means inadvertently trampling on others in the way. Little time for casual chit-chat and long meetings. Diligent and results-focused but short on patience.
* The "get it right" type: Focused more on perfection than meeting deadlines, on details rather than the big picture.
* The "get along" type: Less concerned with deadlines and details than with social networking.
* The "get appreciation" type: Typically driven by the need to get noticed.
