A few years ago, Devora Zack challenged misguided perceptions about introverts and extroverts in her bestselling book Networking for People Who Hate Networking. Now, with The Cactus and the Snowflake at Work, she tackles common errors in judgment about two temperaments: thinkers and feelers. Since every person has characteristics of both types, you’ll learn things about yourself and everyone else too! It’s a fascinating, fun read—so read it!”
—Ken Blanchard, coauthor of The New One Minute Manager and Servant Leadership in Action
“Devora blends deep expertise with offbeat humor that will forever alter how you meld practicality and empathy in all your relationships.”
—Jeffery M. Weirens, Global Financial Advisory Leader, Deloitte
“What an eye opener! As I turned each page of The Cactus and the Snowflake at Work, there were so many aha moments that helped me better understand family, friends, and colleagues. This book answers the fundamental question ‘What makes you, you?’”
—Howard Wiener, International Tax Principal, KPMG
“Invest in yourself with the gift of this playful, practical, insightful book. An invaluable must-read. Highly recommend!”
—Liz Janssen, Vice President of Learning, HR Technology, and Transformation, ICF
“Another masterful look at personalities in the workplace. Zack helps us identify the personality styles that make us who we are—and see them as our superpowers.”
—Amy Lemon, Program Manager, Smithsonian
“Laugh-out-loud and transformative, this book is equal parts creative and profound.”
—Anne Robertson, Associate Dean of Faculty Development, Swanson School of Engineering, University of Pittsburgh
“A masterful mix of wisdom and wit.”
—John Johns, Vice President of People and Organization, Monroe Energy/Delta Air Lines
“A brilliant, playful voice that changes how you might live in the world. Devora opens hearts and minds in ways that inspire and delight.”
—Peter Borden, Vice President of Strategy, Growth, and Engagement, Cognizant
“Zack does it again. With incomparable wisdom and charm, she offers the essential guide to navigating disparate personalities.”
—Lara Hejtmanek, Director, Eugene Lang Entrepreneurship Center, Columbia University
This hilarious and profound workplace guide proves the rigorously rational and the supremely sympathetic can meet in the middle and merge their strengths. Readers will discover how blending with their opposite opens the pathway to being their truest selves.
We're all familiar with the introvert/extrovert divide, but there is another dichotomy that is just as significant. From the famed Myers-Briggs personality scale, Feelers put more weight on personal concerns and the people involved, and Thinkers are guided by objective principles and impersonal facts. This simple distinction lays the groundwork for the profoundly different ways that individuals make sense of and engage in both the workplace and the world.
Devora Zack, herself a proud snowflake, says we can directly control only three things: what we say, what we think, and what we do. Zack makes a strong case that the best use of our energy is to focus on our own reactions and perceptions rather than trying to fix or change others. The book includes an assessment that readers can take to learn their placement on the Thinker/Feeler spectrum before exploring different modes of communication and motivation based on personality type. Zack guides her readers to channel their emotions and successfully connect with those on the other side, both inside and outside of the workplace.
