Here is a good, short article on personality differences within teams. http://www.sideroad.com/Team_Building/conflict-resolution-in-team-work.html
As you know, we all have our unique personalities. The different personalities on teams make them exciting, in my opinion. If you think about it, how boring would it be if everyone had the same personality? EXACTLY!! Sometimes conflict can be a good thing...really. It's important for people to express their feelings, as long as it's done in a tactful, professional way in the workplace. There are 21 people on my team and there are a variety of personalities...from the go-getter, to the intravert, but the diversity keeps it alive. What about your team?

I agree that different personalities add to team dynamics. In our work environment we also have vast personalities. There is the person who takes the lead, the person who works quietly, but effienciently, and the person who adds their knowledge of the big picture to make sure we cover all areas of the project. It is important to have these differences. It certainly adds a little more excitement on most days.
