What Color Is Your Parachute 2018 by Richard N. Bolles copy

I Am a Person Who…
HAS FAVORITE WORKING CONDITIONS
My Preferred Working Conditions
Goal in Filling Out This Petal: To state the working conditions and
surroundings, that would make you happiest, and therefore enable you to do your
most effective work.
What You Are Looking For: Avoiding past bad experiences.
Form of the Entries on Your Petal: Descriptors of physical surroundings.
Example of a Good Petal: A workspace with lots of windows, nice view of
greenery, relatively quiet, decent lunch period, flexibility about clocking in and
clocking out, lots of shops nearby.
Example of a Bad Petal: Understanding boss, good colleagues, fun clients, etc.
Why Bad: These all belong on the petal called Preferred Kinds of People to
Work With, not this one, which is just about the physical surroundings at your
work, not the “people surroundings.” Of course, since this is your Flower
Diagram, you can put any info you like on any petal you like. It’s just that if
you want your thinking to be clear, it’s useful to preserve the difference
between “what is my preferred physical setting?” and “what kinds of people do
I prefer to work with?” or “what clients/customers with what kinds of
problems would I most like to help or serve?”
Your physical setting where you work can cheer you up or drag you down.
