What happens when you move a social person into their own remote office? Give it 2 months and they will leave. Part of a socialites worklife involves talking and being around collegues. I get a chance to see this theory in action.
A company that I work with has just moved their socialite into an area all by herself. So in 2 months from this date we will see if she is still around. It is a hard balance when it comes to social people. Obviously being social carries a risk of being less productive than someone that is a bit more reserved and quiet.
However if someone is very good at their job and a social person too what do you do? One thing you don’t do is isolate them. It is important to find ways that can cater to their need to socialise, while still maintaining the high work standards.
I will give you an update in 2 months time.
