Leadership and Team Profiling

Improving Leadership Capability using Myers-Briggs Type Indicators (MBTI ®)

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ® (MBTI ®) is a powerful and versatile indicator of personality type and is widely used for individual, group and organizational development. It's the most trusted and widely used assessment in the world for understanding individual personality differences and can help leaders and managers in your business immensely in gaining valuable insights about themselves and the people they interact with daily.

The MBTI ® tool is an indicator, not a test, so there are no right or wrong answers. It sorts people into 16 broad personality types, each with its own strengths and challenges. The results are practical and can be used in all aspects of workplace behaviour.

Benefits include:

Greater understanding of yourself and others
Improved communication skills
Ability to understand and reduce conflict
Increased ability to manage change and reduce stress
Improved time management
Knowledge of your personal and work style strengths and development areas

Improving Team Effectiveness using BELBIN ® Team Roles

We can help your business can achieve excellent results when using the Belbin ® Team Role profiles, which are easy to use and understand.

Rather than just pulling people together that have the right mix of qualifications and experience and hoping for the best (!), the use of Belbin ® Team Profiles can truly assist teams to reach their full potential.

We can help you apply and interpret the Belbin ® team styles tool to:

identify individual and group team styles
improve teamwork across the group or organisation, and
improve individual leader's performance and contribution to the team.

The 9 BELBIN ® Team Roles are based upon the research of Dr Meredith Belbin who found that the most effective teams contain a balance of these 9 roles.

He found that we each have our own Team Role Profile - our personal repertoire of (non-technical) Team Role strengths ranging from those that come quite naturally (our preferred roles) to those that are our least-preferred roles.

A team role as defined by Dr Meredith Belbin is..."A tendency to behave, contribute and interrelate with others in a particular way."

Teams where each member effectively projects their Team Role strengths at the right time can be much more effective!

By providing your team(s) with reports in easily understood formats, we facilitate discussion between team members about the team's current effectiveness and how it can be improved. Better understanding of respective Team Roles increases each team member's empathy and respect for other team members and their knowledge of how to work together to get the best results.

Working with BELBIN ® team roles can also provide valuable benefits in relation to:

Recruitment
Succession planning
Work design/allocation
Career development
