How to Lead a Team Using Personality Type

Tools

 

Saturday, April 21, 2007

9:00 am – 12 Noon

SAS Campus, Building GX002

 

Hile Rutledge, co-author of Type Talk at Work and Managing Partner of Otto Kroeger Associates

 

To integrate members of a team into a smoothly performing whole, team leaders need to know not just the abilities of the team members but their different personalities and work preferences. Participants in this workshop will have the opportunity to do small-group case study analysis, and also to observe a small group in action while being guided to look and listen for clues to the members' personality types.  Using the Myers Briggs Type Indicatorš as a diagnostic tool, participants will learn how to:

 

- recognize how different personality types present themselves in a group setting;

         - use the MBTIš type table as a diagnostic tool;

         - predict team behavior;

         - provide leadership that integrates the unique strengths of the members.
