Product Description
'By nature, by instinct, by personality, people react differently and use different techniques and ways of dealing with a situation. Success in the future will come to those who see people as unique individuals, with unique talents. Rather than just selecting people with the right skills, winning organizations will be those that also focus on selecting people with the skills who are also suited by temperament to complete the task successfully. How do you discover who you really are? Who your team members really are? What role you're best adapted to play? Many systems have been devised based on the great psychologist, Carl Jung's teachings. But the best may well be a system called Kingdomality, created by Richard and Susan Silvano of Career Management International. Kingdomality links an understanding of personality - the natural/instinctive way we act and react - with role models that clearly define the whole sweep of personality types. By matching personality types to roles played by citizens in a medieval kingdom and developing a simple test - blind to issues such as gender, race, education, economic circumstance - the Silvanos have created a way of discovering who you are. By knowing your own role, and the essence of the roles of others around you, you'll understand why certain people see problems and opportunities differently. To know who you really are brings power and mastery to your life.' From the foreword by Ken Blanchard, bestselling co-author of The One Minute Manager

Not the same old business book November 23, 2004

Take a parable, merge it with the populace of a medevil kingdom, add some very savvy psychology and you have an above average book to help you understand yourself and deal with your co-workers.
This one has a fun website associated with it. www.kingdomality.com. Find out who you are, have your co-workers take it to find out who they are, and then take a look at the book. The quiz is uncannily accurate, and if nothing else, you'll bond with the people around you over this.
An Incredibly Valuable Tool for All Working Teams December 24, 2004

I have used the Kingdomality Program with many work teams and with my church council over the past 8 years. It is an entertaining and valuable way for individuals to understand the powerful impact of personal style, preference, and motiviation - and how that diversity can drive team results or cripple its capacity.
You may be familiar with other programs based on the same psychological underpinnings. However - the Kingdomality program presents this material in a manner which is fresh, entertaining, and provides imagery and vocabulary that allows a work team to put it to use.
The book is a great read and a good place to start with this program. The website is a complementary tool to allow your team to put this to work.
I highly recommend this book and this program!

If you liked the One Minute Manager or Raving Fans you will love Kingdomality!
This is a very creative team building tool. I encourage you to go to the Kingdomality web site, find out what your role would have been in the medieval kingdom. Then read the book and use it professionally or personally to understand how you and your team/friends best work/play together.

Easy way to improve work relationships January 1, 2005

I read this book in one sitting and immediately ordered one for each of my employees. Kingdomality is an easy and powerful way to understand how others at your workplace process information, make decisions, and perceive others. It is also applicable in personal relationships, and has helped me numerous times from jumping to conclusions simply because someone did not respond the way I thought they should. Highly recommended!
