Leader Development MBTI®

Equip your leaders with the knowledge to recognise their leadership strengths and potential blind spots, identify and use five key type-related values that promote effective leadership and create a development plan for enhancing their leadership effectiveness using the principles of Myer-Briggs’ personality type.

Overview

The leader development workshop is a full day (7.5hr.) workshop designed to teach participants how to enhance and to develop their leadership effectiveness using the principles of personality type. The workshop begins by encouraging leaders to become aware of their typical paths in daily activities and what happens if they over or under use their natural tendencies. This leads to an exploration of both acknowledged and unacknowledged leader strengths and vulnerabilities as well as an investigation of the core processes in leader development. Participants will then explore development options and work on creating their own development plan. The workshop ends by investigating leader values that can engender awareness of important, larger contributions and inspire transformations in the people being led.
