Have you ever been really bummed out by why some people are successful in your company and you’re not? Have you been annoyed by the fact that some newbie who joined just a few months ago has already reached his first pin level, while you haven’t even moved from zero after one year?
The worst thing you can do is to feel inadequate about it, because it’s not your fault. Over the last few posts, we’ve covered a lot about personality types and how to relate to each of them. In this article, I discuss how each personality performs in the various compensation plans.
