All different personalities all make up a workforce. In this paper we will be breaking down those personalities and presenting a plan that helps improve their relationship with their work and their team within their career. Individual Assessments Working individually or on a team requires you giving yourself to your work. Depending on your personality it can either help you in your career, or hinder you within your team. On my team I have 7 individuals who work together will very different styles of personalities. Within those personalities there are the thinkers, master-minders, producers, assessor, and the perfecter. When dealing with personalities that include wanting to be right, fear of losing individuality, not like authority, natural curiosity, and someone who likes to have control it can become difficult not only to address those personalities but also to combine them in a team atmosphere. Double space throughout in APA Master-minder The master-minder with the cautious style is more guarded, less indirect, is overly analytical. This can not only help the team by being analytical, but it can also cause conflict if the other personalities see the master-mind as a threat.

...The Burghers of Calais is a sculpture made by Auguste Rodin. This sculpture was made in the years of 1884-9 and is located in Calais, France. I believe that Rodin made his sculpture to be a sculpture in the round, which means that it is meant to be seen from all sides. The person viewing the work must walk or move around it to see the whole thing. There are four main ways to make a sculpture, which is carving, modeling, casting, and assembling. In this particular sculpture, Rodin used the casting method, I do not know what the original models were made out of but to mold it he used bronze.

They each made specific contributions to society during difficult social times. The subject of this paper will examine the specific problems or ideas both of these famous thinkers sought to solve, and the solutions they came up with for implementation. The ideas and solutions met with interference from people opposing the change, and many of the solutions were is a constant state of refinement, but their individual solutions all met the test of logic, enabling them to overcome the difficulties and opposition to resolutions.

...The primary character in this story isn't, as one may speculate from the title, an insightful or an old individual; he is a kid. This kid, Seth Richmond, who is held and garbled, has earned the notoriety of being a "Thinker." Even his mom is somewhat perplexed with him. Again Anderson demonstrates the truth behind appearance: Seth was "not what the men of the town, and even his mother, thought him to be. No great underlying purpose lay back of his habitual silence and he had no definite plan for his life" he was more manipulative than astute. At last, Seth Richmond needs to be more similar to other individuals, yet in the meantime, he doesn't. Perusing "The Thinker," I understood that the judiciousness which at first gave off an impression...

...Famous Thinkers While scanning the articles of the all of the famous thinkers in the electronic reserve, I picked the two that I felt were most similar. Once I started looking at the choices we had to choose from, I told myself that I was not going to do the stereotypical thing and go with Dr. Martin Luther King. Even though I knew he was a famous thinker even before looking at the list, I chose not use his articles. On the other hand, I was disappointed that there were no articles pertaining to President Barack Obama. Knowing that he won a Nobel Peace Prize just for his ideas alone, I thought that he would be among this list. The first article that caught my attention was, “Why I am Not a Christian”, by B. Russell. The next article I chose was, “Not a Minute to Hate”, by Cornell West. Bertrand Arthur William Russell was born in 1872. He was not brought up in the traditional education forum, instead, Bertrand Russell was taught by tutors and governesses. Being taught by tutors and governesses allowed him to gain knowledge of French and German, perfectly. Bertrand Russell was very well versed in politics and philosophy. He had a very outspoken set of morals and during the years, these morals landed him in prison as he gave lectures around the country. In 1927, Russell opened a school for children, as he continued to give lectures around the country. He had over 25 principal publications published beginning in 1896.
