Personalities and their incompatibility “personality clashes” between others can be an obstacle within community councils/boards and committees that can become a very big opportunity to develop into positive outcomes. However with some gentle effort and some heightened perspective we may be able to work well with practically anyone. Community leadership must take responsibility to make these personality clashes to turn into positive outcomes. We must not insist that other people see life or behave the way we do. Personalities have various effects on the objectives and goals that communities are working towards. They will effect attitudes, outcomes of projects and have potential to foster incompatibility. Community’s boards and their committees are made up of many volunteers and residents that have many talents to offer. They all have to work together to accomplish the goals the community has decided to work towards. Leadership of the community (Chairman or Chairpersons) boards or committees maybe key in reaching the objective of fostering positive compatibility between all members of boards and committees. This issue can be a real challenge. It is probably the most difficult of all obstacles to produce positive outcomes. Controversial issues do arise, and the ability to make decisions based on merit rather than personalities is a must. We must find ways to maximize positive outcomes when dealing with personality incompatibility. We have to encourage and implement ideas and suggestion that will promote a culture of teamwork. We may need to take a look at our own personality clashes,not only the ones between others. Letting go of them may take a huge weight off of our shoulders and allow us to have a more open mind and accept different concepts from others.
