Summary: A Must Read for Every Manager!
Comment: Every manager should read this book to enhance his or her self-awareness, and to better understand the "hard-wired" styles of others.

Roger was the pro who trained me on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator years ago. His extraordinary knowledge was obvious then, and now it's available to everybody in this great book! I highly recommend this book!

Summary: A Good Read!
Comment: You can figure out who you are - and more importantly, who the people you lead are - if you have a little patience with Roger R. Pearman. The author carefully applies the Myers-Briggs personality type system to explain leadership styles. He asserts that if you understand how people behave, one personality type at a time, you can lead them more effectively. You can use this system to understand how your employees (and you) think, and to spot strengths and weaknesses. Pearman's examples, lists and charts show how to identify different personality types and how to apply this understanding in different situations. We at getAbstract recommend this excellent book as particularly helpful to those who are familiar with the Myers-Briggs system and to those who like taking an analytical approach to human behavior. (If you are less analytical, don't get testy while trying to sort out the 16 personality types - The trip is worthwhile.)

Summary: A probing exploration of leadership and the mind.
Comment: This book explores a fundamental paradigm for effective leadership based on Jungian psychological type theory and the sixteen personality types used in the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI). The author's goal is to go beyond the usual human potential categorizations of the MBTI to establish a new foundation of leadership psychology based on Jung's work. Chapters focus on six building blocks of leadership psychology: communication; problem management; learning and development; blind spots; team building, and values and culture. These six blocks refer to mental processes and habits of mind (hardwiring). Key points are illustrated with real-life scenarios. This exploration of patterns of mind and how they are expressed in leadership settings proves to be a probing examination of leadership. The author argues that each person has the wiring to be leader. Recommended.
