A successful organisation is made up of people with different working styles that complement each other. Understanding how your people work, and assisting them to understand how their personal style interacts with that of their colleagues, is an essential building block of creating a dynamic team.

With more than 3.5 million questionnaires completed worldwide every year and more than 13,000 qualified users in Europe, the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) questionnaire is the most widely used personality questionnaire in the world. It is based on over 50 years of research and development, and is available in 19 languages.

This tool MBTI Step 1 combines ease of use with compelling results. There is extensive evidence of it acting as a powerful catalyst for both individual development and empowerment. As a result, bringing about increased productivity, a more effective approach to problem solving and improved managerial and team working skills.

The key areas that benefit from using MBTI are:

Individual Development - understand your preferred working style and how to develop this to be more effective in a range of situations.

Management & Leadership Development - assist managers and leaders to appreciate the impact of their personal style on others, and identify their strengths and any areas that they may need to develop to become more effective. This works extremely well as part of an executive coaching programme.

Teambuilding - increase awareness of the team's working style and, as a result, improve communication, enhance problem solving, encourage appreciation of diversity and resolve conflict.

Organisation Change - understand why people react differently to change and how to support them through the process.

Improve Communication - assist people to understand how to communicate effectively with different people and develop influencing skills.

Relationship Building - Improve the quality of relationships and interactions by understanding and valuing differences.
