Individual Behavior

I have worked for several employers since I began working when I was in high school and one thing I can say is that every employer had a complete and different approach on how to treat employees, thus creating a different atmosphere or work, some resulting in good and others bad.  In one the old establishment where i was employed was great, but at times the manager had a tendency to drive the staff crazy due to the fact that they couldn't handle their emotions. As we learned in class "emotional stability" is one of the big five personality traits and it states that a person who is lacking emotional stability is anxious, nervous and tense.  This can result in a lot of negative performance from employees if your adding unnecessary stress on issues employees have no control over.  Another big five trait I believe one of my old employers should take a closer look into is "conscientiousness".  In class it states that a person who is conscientious is dependable, organized, and focused.  Someone who isn't is careless, impulsive and not achievement oriented, which was a trait that is very important to have when managing a business with a large staff where every week you must plan accordingly to achieve a goal corporate has instilled.  Being familiar with these traits allows business to run a lot smoother with less stress and confusion.  If an employers is tense and nervous, his/her mind is not clear and can make wrong business decisions.  If they're calm and steady they can think clearly and make the proper decision as oppose to an impulsive one. It best to have a knowledge of all five traits which will result in a well rounded manager, one who will make rational decisions and have a staff comfortable to speak to.
