a) Assume that you work with four managers. Each has a different dominant personality trait as listed below. How would these differences affect the way each manager frames decision making situations? How would these differences affect the way they make choices in the face of uncertainty? What types of decision-making errors would each manager tend to make under highly stressful conditions?
- Conscientiousness
- Assertiveness/Extroversion
- Openness to New Ideas and Experiences
- Agreeableness
b) This next question gets a little more complicated--consider it carefully. What types of situations are more likely to cause stress each of these managers? Do the same things cause stress for each one?
