Workshop One - 1.4 Management Styles AssessmentPrint this pageManagement Styles AssessmentIntroduction and AlignmentThe better you understand your management style preferences the easier it is to function in an organization. Also, understanding the management style preferences of your colleagues will help you work together more effectively.Upon successful completion of this assignment you will be able to: Employ the results of the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator Instrument to perform more effectively at work.ResourcesTextbook: ORGB4Experiential Exercise Background InformationThe MBTI® INSTRUMENT - What it isThe Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)® instrument is a self-reporting, nonjudgmental (does not assign a "good" or "bad" connotation) psychological instrument. It is designed to sort people according to their preferences in four areas: where people get their energy (internally or externally), how people perceive their surroundings (detailed or intuitive), the basis of their decision making (logic or value driven), and the lifestyle used to deal with their environment (judging or perceiving).The MBTI instrument is based on Carl Jung's research. Dr. Jung believed that an individual's behavior reflects a pattern that indicates a person's preference for their energy source, data collection, and decision-making. Isabel Briggs Myers and Katherine Briggs developed the MBTI instrument based on Jung's work, personal observation, and extensive research. The developers added a dimension to Jung's theory that deals with a person's lifestyle choices.Using an analogy is the best way to define the concept of preference. We sort people into left- and right-handedness. Most of us clearly show a preference for the use of one hand over the other. In the process we develop the skills, strengths, and abilities on one hand and underdeveloped the other. We still use both hands, hence one becomes dominant and the other becomes auxiliary. People develop their personalities in the same manner. You are born with certain traits, and if your environment supports that development, you will have a well-developed dominant trait, and most likely, a less-well-developed auxiliary trait. In addition you will have other parts of your personality that receive very little attention. These traits surface occasionally – usually when a situation exists that puts our dominant and auxiliary traits at a disadvantage. For example, when something happens that really upsets us, our initial response is usually much different than our "normal" way of doing things.The self-reporting and self-validating done via the MBTI instrument sorts people on the four areas. The first area is Extraversion or Introversion. The person who indicates a preference for Extraversion is one whose energy is directed outward and prefers to interact with people and things. A person who indicates a preference for Introversion is one whose energy is directed inward and prefers concepts and ideas. In the former case, a person "speaks before he/she thinks" and in the latter case, a person "thinks before he/she speaks."The second area that the MBTI addresses is that of perceiving or data collection (Sensing or Intuition). Those people who indicate a preference for Sensing rely on actual data and pay attention to details. Those folks who indicate a preference for Intuition rely on inspiration and look at the "big picture."The third area addresses the decision-making process that people use. Those people who prefer Thinking base their decision on logic and principles. On the other hand, those who prefer Feeling base their decisions on human values and harmonious relationships. The final area that the MBTI addresses is that of lifestyle. Here people indicate their preferred and most often used mental preference (Perceiving or Judging). Those who prefer Judging indicate that decisiveness and task or project completion are important. Those who prefer Perceiving indicate that curiosity and starting a task or project is of value.InstructionsRead chapter 3, “Personality, Perception, and Attribution,” in ORGB4.Complete the Experiential Exercise file.Write a two page paper analyzing the results of this assessment of the student's personality.
