My senior colleagues are bullying me :: Mmegi Online

Dear Gaone Please hide my identity. I just graduated from varsity and fortunately got employed as a manager at one of the local companies. I supervise more than 10 people all of whom are way older than me despite me being more educated than them. So far it has been rocky since some of my juniors try to bully me because of our age gap. Can you kindly elaborate on different personalities so I can have better ammunition on how to manage them.

Dear Anonymous

Research shows that there are four personality types i.e choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic and melancholic. It is noteworthy to mention that we all have a dominant and recessive personality. Therefore it is possible to have a mixture of some of the personality types e.g. phlegmatic sanguine, melancholic choleric etc. Moreover, our personalities are like bricks handed over to us by the universe; we have the power to decide to construct a mighty and grand house with the bricks we have been given, to just dispose of them or under - use them.
