How Does Your MBTI Profile Influence Your Transition?
If you are a New Leader, it's important to take a step back and study the organization you are entering (and the people in it). Unfortunately – for a variety of reasons – some New Leaders dive headlong into a role without realizing the impact their actions and leadership style may have on others. Some move forward blindly at their own peril, failing to meet the needs and expectations of important others.
The results: angry and resentful colleagues, neglected Direct Reports, and a Hiring Manager who wonders if they made the right decision. Not a great way to start. Damaged relationships can ultimately lead to a New Leader's undoing, causing them to be seen as not the right “fit” for the role and organization.
As a New Leader, you don't have to take the white-knuckle approach to onboarding. There is a widely-used tool – the MBTI – that demystifies your path to success. The more quickly you develop awareness about your impact, the faster and better you'll perform.
