Greetings!
As an observing Introvert, I've noted for some time how
a knowledge and use of type theory enhances our relationships. In fact,
just remembering the strengths and differences of Extraverts &
Introverts can be a powerful tool in our lives. Therefore, we decided
to devote this and the next three issues to discussing each of the four
behavior dimensions - Energy, Information, Decision & Action - and the
two preferences associated with each dimension.
The article on Your Leadership Story from The TYPE
Reporter gives valuable information on how each of us can be a leader
by using the four key behaviors - Feeling, Sensing, Intuition and Thinking
- to speak like a leader.
I know that this information will be as helpful in your life
as it is in mine. This is simple and easy to understand, but profound when
remembered and applied!
REDUCE STRESS/FRICTION IN RELATIONSHIPS
& IMPROVE HEALTH BY UNDERSTANDING & USING TYPE THEORY - Extravert
or Introvert

The first dimension of
behavior in type theory is how our Energy is gathered - Extravert
or Introvert. An indepth understanding and application of this
information can be profoundly powerful in your life - with working
associates, family relationships, and health.
The common way people
interact is to project their way of thinking and feeling onto others. We
look through our lens of behavior and expection at others and judge them
if they don't behave likewise. This doesn't work and is the basis of the
negative results we're getting in our business and personal
relationships.
When I learned about my
preference for gathering energy as an Introvert, I began to manage
my activities making sure that I had enough time for reflection and
thinking things through - "alone" time. This simple change in
my behavior, completely eliminated the "stress headaches" I
endured weekly for most of my life that had literally crippled me for
days at a time.

EVERYONE A LEADER - Four Key Behaviors of
Leadership - Your Leadership Story
|
|
"What if all you had
to do to be a leader was speak and listen in a slightly different way,
and suddenly, you would be connecting with others and changing the
world?"
When most of us think of
"leaders," we think of other people. We think of those
rare people who seem to have extraordinary passion, unusual intelligence,
super-human energy and NO fear. When most of us think of leaders, we
don't think of ourselves.
Successful leaders speak
in a way that people become excited about what they are saying and want
to be part of what they are doing. What if that was all there is to being
a leader - the ability to speak in a way that drew people towards you and
to listen in a way that connected you with others?
Effective leaders don't
attack! Use Feeling to speak about what brings you joy. What do
you stand for? What are your passions? What do you lead people towards?
What is your "leadership story?"

What
clients are saying about us.....
Following the merger of four multi-billion dollar aerospace
companies, I was asked to lead a technology transition team chartered to
integrate and develop the combined technologies. The PEOPLE Process
proved to be an invaluable tool for choosing and building the team
comprised of scientists, engineers and physicists that are among the top
in the world. Because the technical community often emphasizes the
technical (hard stuff) over the people (soft stuff), the materials provided
a powerful, unique and practical way to get the team members to
understand and complement their differences and strengths. Above all, it
was key to developing strong personal and professional relationships and
enabled effective communication among team members who had been arch
rivals and competitors for many years prior to the merger. Col. Jerry
Tiahrt, Retired, U.S. Air Force, Director-Technology Integration,
Raytheon Company
We have found this product to be effective in training
diplomats in negotiation and crisis management skills, retrenched
fishermen in job seeking skills, managers in hi-tech organizations in
career development, hospital emergency-room staff in managing conflict
encounters, civil servants in time management skills, trainers in advanced
facilitation skills, and entrepreneurs in new business start-ups. Without
exception, participants have been able to relate easily to the use of the
system, are amazed at the uncanny accuracy of the personality type
profile, and have been able to apply The PEOPLE Process in their daily
work. David Kenny, Director, PKA Training & Development, Ireland
...a great tool to help team members understand themselves
and their teammates better. My clients love it because it has been
delightfully accurate and is a practical "take-away" that they
can share with the significant people in their lives. I highly recommend
it as a key tool for facilitators to use to assess personality type
preferences. Ruth Urban, M.S., Certified Professional Facilitator, The
Urban Group, Las Vegas, Nevada
