Part of the Online Seminar Series
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:
- the role of Temperament in motivation
- the impact of the J/P preferences on communication
- 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.
