More than anything else, teamwork is about collaboration – how people work together. But far too often, the focus on the team’s work is so great that the people aspects of the team are dismissed as secondary. When that happens, team members work with less energy and determination, misunderstandings occur and the pursuit of the team’s goal is undermined. The relational aspects of teamwork are typically seen as a problem to overcome rather than a tool that should be used to produce higher performance.

What makes teamwork so challenging is that each person on the team has influence on each of the other team members. How team members affect each other is a critical – yet so often neglected – determinant of the success of the team. Yet even when teams want to focus on their relationships, they often feel that they don’t have the tools or language to draw out useful insights. However, within the 4-letter MBTI code are elements that can provide rich ground for meaningful conversations about how team members can increase their productivity through sustaining positive relationships.

In the presentation, Ray will highlight three critical issues that affect collaboration and how personality type can provide insights to help team members work harder, smarter and faster. What you will learn in this webinar is:

1. the role of Temperament in motivation
2. the impact of the J/P preferences on communication
3. the problem of opposites – using Jungian functions to gain insight into conflict triggers

For MBTI facilitators this presentation will provide highly applicable and easy to implement next steps after an MBTI introductory workshop. For team leaders or team members, the presentation will provide tools to anticipate and avoid common team pitfalls, and ways to foster greater productivity.

1pm EST – 2:30pm EST
MBTI CE Credits: 1.5

Do the decisions of your decision-making partners occasionally leave you perplexed? Do you ever wonder about what motivates others during decision making? Do your own decisions, at times, catch you by surprise? This webinar explores the ways in which personality preferences influence how individuals typically make decisions. It is designed to help you make better decisions and understand more about how others approach decision making through the application of type theory. Using an in-depth case study, we outline strengths and challenges for decision makers that flow from psychological type and demonstrate how type can illuminate similarities and differences in decision-making style. The case study also serves to illustrate how type can provide a neutral language in which to discuss difficult decisions and lessen the conflicts that can erupt during the decision-making process.

In addition to the importance of exploring your style in relation to that of your decision making partners, delving into the gifts and challenges your preferences bring can help you to become a more balanced decision maker. Good decision making requires attention to all eight preferences, the four represented by the letters type in your code as well as their four less practiced and less familiar opposites. With this in mind, we provide type development tips that promote decision-making excellence. Join us for an opportunity to reflect on your assumptions about decision making and leave with strategies that can be applied immediately to improve individual and group decision making for decisions large and small, personal and professional.

Objectives

• Highlight ways in which psychological type influences decision making
• Suggest how type knowledge can help reduce conflict during decision making
• Explore methods for improving individual and group decision making
• Make decision making more fun (or at least less stressful!)

Who Should Attend:
This webinar is for anyone interested in exploring the impact of personality preferences on decision making and more specifically, practitioners and leaders – managers counselors, consultants, coaches, trainers, human resource professionals, educators, etc. – who want to help their colleagues and/or clients develop their decision making.

TypeLabs, a leading provider of online personality type resources and training, today announced the launch of a new online seminar “Transformational Leadership and Analytical Psychology” presented by Steve Myers, creator of the Management Team Role-indicator. “Research consistently shows that Transformational Leadership is more effective that other forms of leadership.” Myers said. “This new seminar is designed to show why practitioners need to move beyond psychological type to the alchemy of the unconscious in order to transcend the realms of Transactional and Transformational Leadership.”

The seminar will be presented live on January 26, 2010 at 1:00 p.m. — 2:30 p.m. EST. The seminar is affordably priced at a special reduced price of $79 per attendee.

“At TypeLabs, our goal is to provide our customers with exceptional value through access to on-demand expert content and resources.” said Kris Kiler, President of TypeLabs. “This seminar will be of interest to any type practitioner looking to get deeper into understanding transformational leadership.”

During the last 30 years James MacGregor Burns’ Transformational Leadership has become the most important and widely used leadership model in organisational, political, social and cultural development. Whilst making no assumptions about participants’ prior knowledge of Transformational Leadership, Steve Myers will introduce a distinctive perspective based on C.G. Jung’s analytical psychology, which will make this webinar of interest to all levels of experience. The webinar will begin by introducing and examining the concepts of transformation in Burns’ and Jung’s theories. Steve will show why practitioners need to move beyond psychological type to the alchemy of the unconscious in order to transcend the realms of Transactional and Transformational Leadership. He will discuss the unique insights offered by analytical psychology that suggest the use of strategies complementary to those used in mainstream transformational leadership development. He will include practical examples and discuss implications for practitioners in leadership coaching and development.

Objectives:
- To establish a basic understanding of the concepts of transformation in Burns’ and Jung’s theories
- To position psychological type and Jung’s approach to alchemy within the framework of transactional and transformational leadership
- To explore the process of transformation within analytical psychology and how it affects and is affected by relationships between leader and follower(s)
- To identify practical steps that can be taken to promote transformation in individuals and organisations through leadership development

Description:

Every year, many thousands of people use the knowledge of psychological type (as described  initially by Carl Jung in 1921) to raise individual awareness, increase leadership effectiveness, build team cohesiveness and provide support to the coaching process.

Most people access these concepts using an assessment tool called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI®) which provides a “four-letter Type” (E/I, S/N, T/F, J/P) that describes an individuals preferred way of gathering information and making decisions.

Often individuals struggle with selecting their ”best-fit” type using only this assessment tool because of  the difficulties in distinguishing between innate and learned behaviours.

To help in the sorting process, it is helpful to use the four lenses of type:

• Function-attitudes: what are the information gathering and decision making preferences?
• Hierarchy of functions: how do these cognitive processes manifest for your personality type?
• Temperament: what are your core needs and what pattern of values, talents and behaviors do you identify with?
• Interaction Style: how do you engage with others to get your core needs met and what pattern of aims, beliefs, energy and appearance do you most identify with?

This book includes:

• An overview of the four lenses of type
• Comparisons between different types
• Resource guide for further information

This book has been designed as a resource for trainers, consultants, coaches, and leaders to help individuals assess their best-fit type, and thereby have greater access to their innate talents.
