We believe that stand alone training is an effective way to introduce the concepts and methodology. Our experience is interactive, client driven and coach like. Follow on coaching embeds the learning.
Half day up to three-day client workshops and off site retreats. These are typically part of an organizational coaching project. Our strength centers around team development, communication skills, conflict resolution, etc. Leadersearch is well known for their team development work using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI).
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
The MBTI instrument is the most trusted and widely used assessment in the world for understanding yourself and the individuals in your organization. The MBTI combines four preferences into 16 personality types and provides us with insight into how people will tend to communicate and interact with others. We have found the MBTI to be a powerful and versatile indicator of personality type and team behavior.
Workshop Description
All teams need to have a foundation to work from in order to understand their differences and to use those differences as an asset versus a more traditional problem perspective. Understanding oneself first and then the individual make up of each other member of the team in invaluable for teams to be most effective.
The purpose of this session is to help each team member first understand their natural preferences as well as their less preferred characteristics. Then they can learn the preferences for each of their team members.
A second key element of this workshop is to help the team understand their natural decision making style and the gaps that exist. Playing to the strength of each team member makes for more effective decision making in shorter periods of time.
The workshop also helps the team identify gaps in their natural preferences and creates ways for the team to manage the gaps more effectively.
