Mating: "In our marriages we go to all the bother of finding mates more or less unlike ourselves -- in some cases exactly opposite in all respects -- and then, in our Pygmalion Projects, we pull out all the stops in our attempt to transform them in our own image." Parenting: "The Pygmalion Project, so visible in mating, goes underground in parenting. A child, after all, is supposed to be different from an adult. It is only later our offspring must end up a chip off the old block" Leading: "It is not enough for managers to appreciate and understand the temperaments of their subordinates; they also must know how their own temperaments affect their leadership. And they need to know what they can expect from their superiors and associates, given a knowledge of their temperament styles."
