MBTI in Organizations

 

The Myers-Briggs-Type-Indicator (MBTI), based on C.G. Jungs theory of personality types is a tool for helping individuals and teams to learn about themselves. The theory explains how apparently random behavior is actually consistent because it follows from peoples preferences:

  where to direct energy
     
  how to gather infomation
     
  how to make decisions

When people are aware of their differences, they can reduce conflicts and deal constructively with them

YouCan has been using the MBTI over 10 years in Career Planning and Leadership Coaching. Usually the evaluation has a "wow"-effect on our clients because it leads to some kind of "reconciliation". Such as: "o.k. stop wanting to become someone else, focus on your best and most favored skills and build on them" The MBTI is also very helpful because it redirects your focus, away from negative problem related thinking towards a positive solution related communication style. For understanding your specific way of thinking and acting helps you to understand the people you work with. With the knowledge of the MBTI you can create a climate of mutual respect and appreciation because you know how to bring out the best in yourself and others.
