Who are you - jerky or linear: how do types of employee productivity differ

The linear type of performance is more popular - 70% of people belong to this group. Linear employees work in a structured manner, follow the plan, and complete tasks in stages.

For example, instead of "Sales Manager" directly indicate - "The seller in the auto parts store." It is impossible to list se...
