How well your personality and career match can significantly influence whether you find that career fulfilling, stressful, boring or challenging. In India people do not give much importance to such things. When I say this I am not talking about the people who are exceptions. There are few people who think in a different manner and want to do what they love and what suites them. A big difference between one's personality and the job tended to result in low job enjoyment. But if there was too close a match between your personality and the job, then job enjoyment also started to drop.
Being in a job where there is a modest degree of stretch can therefore have some benefits.
The benefits are following :
- you can provide a different type of contribution to others in the same field
- you find the challenge of being 'stretched' rewarding
- doing a job that closely suits your preferences may not provide enough personal development for you working outside your preferences may encourage greater creativity from you
- teams often perform better with a mix of people/perspectives, and you may be able to fill a niche that others do not fill
There are two types of "stretch"
1. Within your preference : The challenge lies in the areas of your strength.
2. Across your preference : The challenge lies in the areas of your weakness.
A person has to stretch even if the work does not belong to his preference zone. This does not result into anything productive. But if you stretch yourself into kind of work you are capable of and that you want to do the result will be magnificent.
