This September, CPP's European distribution partner OPP held the European MBTI® Conference which focused on the future of work. The conference brought together MBTI® practitioners from 13 countries who shared ideas, insights, and best practices for applying the MBTI® instrument in their organizations and with their clients.
One of the event's highlights was Keynote Speaker Professor Richard Scase, one of the world's leading business forecasters. Drawing from his forthcoming book Global Remix, Scase examined future global trends in workforce development and emphasized the need for employers to create a good fit between organizational culture and personal preferences to ensure future success.

New from Davies-Black® Publishing
What do Gen-Y employees need from their Baby Boomer managers that Gen-Xers don't? How does gender affect employee-manager relationships? What separates introverts and extroverts? More than ever before, managing a diverse workforce requires flexibility, sensitivity to a range of values, and respect for each person's intrinsic needs, rights, and differences. With an eye toward the changing demographics and complexity of today's workplace, What People Want uncovers the truth about what people really want from their relationships at work. With dozens of real-world examples, sample dialogue, and nearly 200 tips and techniques, What People Want also offers a variety of tools to help managers address their own needs for personal and psychological space and work-life balance, and advice on how to avoid such bad behaviors as bullying and intimidation, which can demotivate staff and damage the organization.
