Does it sometimes seem like you and your team members are speaking a different language?

A variety of factors can influence team communication, including varying individual learning styles and cultural norms. Understanding and leveraging these group and individual dynamics is a key asset of good leadership. However, sometimes even the best manager needs a reliable advisor to help pinpoint and solve internal issues.

MBTI®

The most widely used personality inventory in the world; the MBTI® instrument provides an accurate picture of a person’s personality type.

It is used for a wide range of applications, including executive development, leadership & coaching, organizational development, team development, career management, conflict resolution, retention, culture and diversity, and working relationships.It operates by determining preferences on four dichotomies:

    • Extraversion–Introversion: This preference tells us whether the individual is more likely to focus and gain energy from the outer world of people or from the inner world of ideas and experiences.
    • Sensing–Intuition: This preference describes how the individual prefers to take in information—focused on what is real and actual or on patterns and meanings in data.
    • Thinking–Feeling: This preference affects decision-making skills, indicating whether an individual usually makes decisions based on logical analysis or guided by concern for their impact on others.
    • Judging–Perceiving: This preference indicates how people prefer to deal with the outside world — in a planned orderly way, or in a flexible spontaneous way.

The combination of these preferences result in 16 distinct personality types. Understanding the characteristics that are unique to each personality type provides valuable insight on how they influence an individual’s way of communicating and interacting with others. The MBTI® Step II (Form Q) instrument drills down and details 20 facets of the preferences for more in-depth personality type understanding.

Benchmarks®

Benchmarks® is a comprehensive, 360-degree assessment tool that measures 16 skills and perspectives that are critical for success. This type of an analysis enables an executive to obtain an objective assessment of their skills and a comparison of those skills to similar managers in other organizations. This ultimately allows the behavioral trainer and individual to focus on and create strategies for development in specific key areas.
