Myers-Briggs Type Indicator - For Leadership Development and Team Building

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®)

There are an estimated 6 billion different and unique people inhabiting this earth. The good news is that we don't need to understand every single one of them. The challenge is that we do need to understand those who we wish to interact with in a positive, productive, and effective way.

The purpose of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality inventory is to make the theory of psychological types described by C. G. Jung understandable and useful in people's lives.

The essence of the theory is that much seemingly random variation in people's behavior is actually quite orderly and consistent, being due to basic differences in the way individuals prefer to get energized, take in information, make decisions, and approach life.

The MBTI instrument is the most trusted and widely used personality assessment in the world. It is administered to more than 2 million people annually in the United States alone. The MBTI assessment is a tool for:

Increasing self-awareness. Self-awareness alone is a compelling predictor of success at work and accounts for one-third of job performance. Awareness of your unique personality profile is an essential starting point.
Understanding individual differences. Social awareness is the key to working well with others and the MBTI helps people understand the differences in how people work and interact.

Using these powerful insights we can discover how each unique personality type contributes to team performance. Plus, we can learn new ways to increase collaboration and improve relationships, productivity, and efficiency in a work environment by considering all points of view.

"MBTI gave us a safe and effective format to discover our individual personality preferences, become comfortable in our own skin, and to develop better ways to relate to each other while respecting and honoring our uniqueness. My team has embraced the concepts of MBTI and is rolling it out to the next level. I think the hunger to understand ourselves and know that we each have value has been an obvious need.

Jeff, I am completely sold on the value of MBTI and on you. I look forward to working with you as we move forward."
