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.

Adapting to the context involves reading the dynamics of a situation accurately, clarifying your objectives in the situation, and then responding with the leadership behaviors that are most likely to realize those objectives.

Adapting to your people involves shifting your own preferred interaction style behaviors to match the communication style preferences of those with whom you are interacting. Effective leadership requires that you adapt to both the context and your people simultaneously.

In this program, Scott Campbell will show you how to use the Social Styles personality type framework as a tool to better read and respond to both your circumstances and your people.

What you can expect to learn:

• How each style’s preferred decision-making style provides a clue to reading your context.
• How to determine specific leadership objectives when facing a leadership situation.
• The key behaviors that build trust with each of the four social styles.
• How to simultaneously balance adapting to the context while adapting to your people.

CPP is running a special promotion in response to the free assessment offered on Facebook that got immediate attention from Facebook users as well as from CPP. This assessment initially seemed to be passing itself off as the MBTI as well as “borrowing” graphics from the MTR-i (team role instrument based on the 8 cognitive functions).

Here’s an excerpt from their post….

Building effective real and virtual team dynamics is a vital factor in 21st century organizational success. This program will show how the theories of temperament and psychological type can be applied to raising team productivity. Participants will learn how to create and diagnose a team profile of temperaments, functions and attitudes, and type. This profile will be used to comprehend team performance (strengths and potential challenges). From this point they will learn how to design a customized strategy for team intervention to improve overall team results.

The most compelling training events with the longest lasting impacts are those that get participants up and moving, invite not only participant voices but their skepticism as well and enable everyone to leave the training ready to move from awareness to action. OKA has long used experiential techniques to bring type training to life crafting—through trial and error—a series of experiments, exercises, activities and action plans that greatly enhance a trainer’s ability to spark interest in type among her clients and to move them both to validate their types and to craft effective next steps.

In this program, Hile Rutledge of OKA will detail a number of training ideas, processing techniques and group exercises designed to expand a trainer’s options in working with groups. Including a review of frequently asked questions in type training and a frank discussion of “what ifs” (the dreaded mistakes and unexpected exercise outputs that can arise when drawing on group participation), this program will provide a number of new training ideas and breathe new life into designs that have gotten stale or too presenter-driven.

Objectives

• Learn techniques to pre-sort experiment groups by reported type preferences to enable participants to explore type in action before results are handed back or type concepts are even discussed
• Explore options of how to actively engage everyone—even participants whose preferences you do not know or who have not even taken a type assessment
• Learn experiential training techniques uniquely tailored to large groups (50 to 80 or even higher) and others geared toward more intimate groups (4-8)
• Learn the logic of timing gro up exercises—when to conduct them, when to process the output data, and how much emphasis to put on them.
• Review effective answers to frequently asked type questions and get the chance to pass along your own challenging questions.

• intimate groups (4-8)
• Learn the logic of timing gro up exercises—when to conduct them, when to process the output data, and how much emphasis to put on them.
• Review effective answers to frequently asked type questions and get the chance to pass along your own challenging questions.

The globalization of business, increased mobility of labor across geographic borders is leading to multiculturalism around the globe. Oganizations have to pay due attention to the management of a diverse workforce and development of multicultural teams. This implies equipping employees with basic skills pertaining to cross-cultural awareness and competence to deal with cultural issues.

Leaders also have to motivate and develop people from different cultural backgrounds, experiences, and working styles to collaborate effectively across time zones. This is becoming a common phenomenon across several organizations. Psychological type as a tool has been proven to help leaders and team members better understand some basic differences and similarities amongst each other; by understanding each other’s type preference, we can begin a dialog to bridge cultural differences and to avoid making wrong assumptions about each other.

Research suggests that many global teams falter and most experience a great deal of conflict and miscommunication. This program focuses on understanding what it takes for leaders of different psychological type preferences to be effective when managing global teams. You will gain valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities presented by designing and managing cross-cultural teams. You will also assess your own leadership competence across critical cross-cultural management situations.
