Remember that personality test you thought was just four letters?

Well… roll in, grab a croissant and bring your notepad because we’re going to show you how the Myer Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) tool has been enhanced for individuals and teams that are new to the tool or since you last experienced it.

We’ll give you an insight into your own personality type, how the instrument strengthens teams, develops leaders and gives organisations around the world a competitive advantage.

We will also go into how the tool has been enhanced for individuals and teams.

The MBTI tool provides benefits that:

• Establish a neutral and affirmative language to discuss preferences within individuals and teams;
• Increase productivity by aligning individual MBTI preferences to particular tasks;
• Identify team strengths, preferences and blind spots to be aware of;
• Increase trust within and between teams; and
• Provide practical strategies for team members to communicate and work effectively with other types.

Managers provide a vital connection to ensure the strategic vision and goals set by executive level leaders is understood and implemented by the rest of the organisation.

Managers are key to ensure their teams understand their role in enacting the vision and achieving the organisations goals. Effective managers align their team with the goals of the organisation by driving constructive behaviours, developing high performing teams and through decisive decision making.

Management consultant Peter Drucker has labelled the ‘primary functions’ of a manager into five distinct components:

1. Set objectives – setting goals for the group, and determining how best to meet those;
2. Organise – divide work into manageable activities, and assign these to relevant team members;
3. Motivate and communicate – communicating decisions clearly and creating a team ethos amongst staff;
4. Measure – establish appropriate yardsticks and targets, and analyse and interpret performance; and
5. Develop people – developing staff as company assets.
