![When you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail (but it isn't!)](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyklVujhZCZbpRmbcWGIBVyqss31uuaB990SGF5nFlfW1O9LF0WzFqQjE9kaJ7i1zUT0L25vrHTKIdt0oqGKa5QNv8ZxGqnbTeAPCH5aMHS-y3aBi0Vu6FJu98-DD2iHhyMMdwoCan-p8/s320/hammer+screws.jpg)
By now, just about everyone has a Myers-Briggs profile, and probably a whole lot of other profiles too. We've learnt that not only are other people different but that other people's styles can complement our own - round out the square bits in our own personality giving the team a smoother ride.
But how does this affect how we communicate with people (and I'm thinking particularly about the difficult interface between front-line care professionals and managers/ strategists/ budget holders)?
So what's the secret?
Well, the "how" of engaging with care professionals will follow a more comprehensive exploration of what engagement is really about. In simple terms, 'know your enemy' - there's no point in me explaining in detail how to cut with a saw when your requirement is to staple bits of paper together.
