Leadership, My Personality Type Based On The Carl Jung And Isabel Briggs Myers Typological Approach

The Leadership Archetype Questionnaire (Kets de Vries, 2006b), identifies eight individual leadership archetypes. Among the eight archetypes is the strategist, who sees leadership, per Northouse, as a game of chess (2016). Envisioning an organizational future and responding to change is what makes enlisting the vision of the strategist the first step in aligning the two approaches. The strategist is not only one of the model archetypes defined by the Leadership Archetype Questionnaire; it is also one of the characteristics of a psychodynamic approach to leadership. In aligning the psychodynamic approach and the situational approach to leadership, it is important to remember, as suggested by O’Reilly, et. al. in a study published in the Leadership Quarterly, “it is clear, that leaders at all levels influence strategic initiatives and their implementation” (2010). Exactly “how aggregate leadership influences organizational performance” cannot be readily defined (O’Reilly, et. al., 2010). To clarify step one, step one is to clarify the vision.

Per the What 's Your Communication Style? Assessment by Mark Murphy, my communication style is personal communication. The plus of this style of communication is that I not only listen to what the person is saying, I am also paying attention to their nonverbal communication and their emotional language and connection. I am an active listener. It is easy for me to “smooth” over conflicts and disagreements. The downside to this style is that people tend to view personal communicators as the touchy-feely type. I do believe that

Conflict management is different with every company. Situations differ between companies, individual departments, or individual employees. Companies should always keep in mind the styles of conflict when determining how to manage conflict. The styles only play a partial role in conflict management. Other considerations are to determine the type of culture an organization has and how previous conflict has been managed and learn from those actions. Conflict cultures are the ways that individuals are familiar with doing things. Companies would benefit by managing conflict with a small group or department first and work up. A small group or department are familiar with the way one does things and the attitudes and behaviors are normal and familiar to everyone, making conflict management easier (Gelfand, Leslie, Keller & De Dreu,

I approach it or handle it a little differently. I tend to play a role of a mediator when conflict arises between the students or between myself and my partners. I believe that conflict can be avoided when you take early action diffuse the situation. First, I stay calm, listen to, understand and attack the problem and not the person. The main thing that lead conflict is escalation. People Anger starts to escalate when a dispute or anger arises. Due to that we sometimes because we are so overwhelming angry, we tend to stop listening to understand in order to have an exchange of words to that person. As a teacher, when I encounter a conflict at work between myself and partner, I try to take a step back and remain calm. This strategy helps me to listen, reach for information and to see where the other person is coming from or look at the bigger picture. Doing this keeps me very calm and relief. Even though conflict is inevitably using this strategy helps me resolve the conflict faster without things getting out of hands. In the result, I feel

The importance of putting the right person in the right position can prove a daunting task. Every person is unique with a different mental and physical makeup. This make up shapes a person’s beliefs and attitudes. Putting a personality that is square in a round hole can be met with disaster. There are a number of methods to help understand a person’s personality. Myers-Briggs is a personality type indicator (MBTI).

The results have provided some insight into personality traits which help and hinder my successfulness.

Avoiding is
