“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

About Steve Myers
Steve Myers has 30 years of experience both as a leader and an independent consultant in team, leadership and organisational culture development. He is first and foremost a practitioner who has worked on projects as diverse as improving relationships between a group of PAs to overcoming cultural barriers to improve cooperation between the leaders of multinational corporations.

C.G. Jung developed his theory of psychological types over a number of years in the early part of the 20th Century, starting with extraversion –introversion, later adding the four functions or mental activities of sensation, intuition, thinking and feeling. Responses to this work occurred e.g. Hinkle (1923), before the publication of his seminal Psychological Types (1921/1923)

This presentation is a history of the different interpretations and methods associated withy Jung’s typology up to the present day. It begins with Jung’s construction of his type categories and his consequent early use in his seminars over almost two decades. This  includes his views as presented by others in brief general texts e.g. Corrie (1927); Jacobi (1942), or in adult education seminars. Commentaries and applications e.g. Evans (1939); Read (1942); van der Hoop (1939), as well as the later contributions of von Franz and Hillman (1971) will be included.

The role of measurement (Gray and Wheelwright; Isabel Myers and Katharine Briggs) as a different cultural and methodological approach to Jung’s typology will be discussed, both from the perspective of developing a particular language of type from measurement results and associated texts, but also the products and orientation of instrument use and the drift to the use of the term personality type.

Influences from within and without the Jungian field will also be discussed, notably David Keirsey’s temperaments and John Beebe’s archetypal approach and David Keirsey’s Temperaments, associated with Isabel Myers’ work but not Jung’s. This presentation is  intended to be a contribution to the current challenges to the plausibility of type dynamics and development.
