Tate, C. (2015, January 26). Assessment: What’s your personal productivity style?
https://hbr.org/2015/01/assessment-whats-your-personal-productivity-style

After answering the assessment above I was determined to be: This would be my producivity style.

You are a PLANNER.

Planners prefer organized, sequential, and detailed thinking. They create to-do lists, set aside time for tasks, and prepare thorough and accurate project plans. They don’t waste time on anything unproductive or unimportant. They comply with laws, policies, regulations, and quality and safety criteria, and they frequently complete work ahead of deadline.

Productivity tools that appeal to Planners include:

• project management apps like Tom’s Planner and digital lists like OmniFocus, which let them track work by project, place, person, or date
• Agendas, an iPad app for creating and sharing interactive agendas
• label makers, file folders, filing cabinets, drawer organizers, and pen holders

HERE IS AN IDEA OF WHAT TO ADDRESS IN THE PAPER...

Understanding your own approach to work is essential to good supervision. In looking at your own productivity, consider how your views impact your approach to peers and subordinates. If you are extremely organized, how does that reflect on your interactions with a subordinate who is not? How can you use your strengths to develop others? How can you use others who may have different strengths than yours to help you develop? How can you improve organizational and personal productivity of your employees through good practices, coaching, and mentoring?  So basically talk about how can a manager become more effective coach, mentor, manager, by understanding their own productivity style.  Anything you don't know about me feel free to write it from your own perspective.
