Personality and the Team
Few people realize how important our individual
personalities are to team functioning. Many of the problems associated with team
development stem directly from the interplay between the various personality types.
Some of the more typical problems are:
- members who dominate discussions
- difficulty bringing discussions and projects to closure
- difficulty reaching agreements
- too much or too little detail during analysis
- constant friction over "our differences"
- too much or too little structure in the team operation
- conflict that continues to surface
- lack of respect between team members
|
The best teams contain a balance of all personality types, but in the real
world this rarely occurs, resulting the problems above. This session turns conflict into
new levels of collaboration by teaching team members how to use their differences in
constructive ways. Because of the
insights learned by participants, this session has remained one of our most popular.
Prior to the session, we assess each participant using
the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), one of the oldest and most respected personality
instruments. A unique profile and booklet are developed for each participant with useful
and practical information specifically designed for them.
The 4-hour workshop combines interesting lecture, stimulating exercises,
and enlightening discussion in a way that simplifies the understanding of our
personalities and gives practical direction on how to use the information immediately.

Testimonial
I’d like to thank you and your team for
the service you provided in preparation and throughout the month
of June. Finding you guys on the Internet was amazing to me and
then learning your team had experience in doing exactly what I
needed blew me away. I definitely was a happy camper! Also, your
team responding the way they did with what I felt was very short
notice showed awesome support!
I can’t express how pleased I was with
Ray, Nance, and Brian! They are good people! I thoroughly
enjoyed the interactions, conversations, and watching them do
what they do. Ray’s knowledge of Myers-Briggs was exceptional
and people learned a ton about themselves and their teammates
due to him.
We have seen a notable change in the
attitudes and behaviors of our teams due to the June event. I’m
consistently hearing how people are behaving differently, more
positive, and working better together. It appears the event
accomplished exactly what we were shooting for and I want to
thank Teambuilding, Inc. for your role your team played in this
success.

Testimonial
The training was phenomenal. I have gotten nothing but
positive feedback regarding the quality of the instruction
and the materials presented to us. Everyone wants to have
their spouse, best friend, and son/daughter typed! It truly
was a success and I thank you so much for accommodating our
agency. It is rare that we are afforded the opportunity to
benefit from trainings usually utilized within the corporate
sector.

TURNING TEAM PERFORMANCE INSIDE OUT:
Team Types and Temperament For High-Impact Results
by Susan Nash
Through our experience with teams, we have found that personality plays a key role in team member relationships. It's a critical piece of the team performance puzzle. In this new offering, Nash puts a useful spin on teamwork by using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) to fine tune team performance. The book explains how a team profile is constructed from individual profiles and applies the results to five elements of team effectiveness: strategy; role definition; communication; team flexibility; and, leadership.
