Team and Leadership Development Using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator - MBTI ®
Are you interesdted in mapping the personality dynamics of your project or work team? The MBTI is a well established personality inventory that is fun and affirming for your team. It builds insight into different ways of working and relating and promotes appreciation of these differences.
Your team will explore questions such as:
What energises me? e.g: Do I like to think things through or talk things out? Do I prefer to have a breadth of knowledge or depth of knowledge in a few areas? How do I react under stress?
What kinds of information do I love to focus on? e.g: Am I future focused or do I focus on what is known and experienced? What value do I place on tradition or innovation? How do I approach the big picture or deal with the detail?
What do I draw on when I make decisions? e.g: Is my motivation focused on personal values and relationship building or logic and rationale? Is my decision-making style subjective or objective? How do I approach conflict situations? How inclusive is my style? Am I decisive or a procrasinator?
How do I approach life and work? e.g: Am I a deadline demon? What is my planning style? What value to I place on structure and systems? Do I prefer to multi-task or approach things more lineally?
The MBTI is widely used in the areas of individual and team development. Over 40 years of research and development have demonstrated the reliability and validity of the MBTI. The MBTI produces 16 different personality types, each with its own characteristics and strengths. There are no right or wrong answers on the Indicator and no assumed "right" way to be. The MBTI helps you clarify what your preferences are but does not "box you" into a pre-determined set of behaviours.
Skillfully applied, the MBTI is a powerful tool for developing individuals and teams. It accentuates the positive and promotes balance in personal and team development. It provides information and insight as the basis for a long-term personal or team development plan.
There are a number of MBTI reports available and we will recommend the most appropriate report to meet your development need.
We are skilled at designing your programme to fit with your team and organisational needs.

What is my communication style and how do others see this?
What is our communication dynamic and how can we work with this to become more influential within our organisation?

Does personality affect my chances of promotion?
