Many practitioners use the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator^® (MBTI^®) assessment as a surface tool, considering only four letters and a handful of predicted behaviors. Though such uses can be helpful, psychological type is an intricate system that produces powerful insights into the structure and dynamics of individuals, work groups and organizations. Building Teams with Type aims at experientially exploring type’s complexities and effective applying the theory with teams and organizations.

This two-day hands-on workshop assists practitioners in designing group learning and team-building programs that are tailored to the individual needs of the client. The class is taught in a small group, laboratory-like format, combined with lecturettes and discussions that draw on the broad experience of participants. The workshop culminates in the design of a team-building session based on a case study that integrates all the workshop information.
