Improving Collaboration Through MBTI 

Course Objectives

Session 1

• Participants have an opportunity to learn their strengths and weaknesses as a team member through the Myers-Briggs Personality Type Indicator® (MBTI®).
• Understanding personality type dynamics creates awareness of the opportunity to value diversity within the team and build trusting relationships. “Aha” moments occur frequently as team members learn how and why we act differently through team talent development.
• Interactive exercises applying type concepts provide practical, memorable examples of how uniquely individuals communicate, handle conflict, and deal with change.
• Learn and understand the Team Type and use it to build stronger teamwork.
• Online MBTI® administration allows easy access and confidentiality in using the instrument.

Session 2

• Team assessment (Five Dysfunctions) to determine focus areas for team talent development.
• Apply concepts of MBTI® type to improve communication, ability to engage in healthy conflict, and understand problem- solving approaches.

Session 3
