Knowing others is intelligence
Knowing yourself is true wisdom

Working with Individuals

Organisational Culture Index
Introverted Takes cues and draws power from within
Sensing
Concerns itself with actualities, attends to details
Thinking
Depends on impersonal procedures and principles
Judging
likes things spelled out and definite, seeks closure
Organisational Type - SCAS
At its Best At its Worst
Consistent Insular and inwardly focussed.
Siloed.
Logical Difficult to change (likes to preserve
and protect).
Realistic, rooted in facts about
the present
Rigid and highly prescriptive
Organises and plans and doesn’t
spin off into wildly risky ventures
Slow to spot trends and denial that
change is needed.
Delivers efficiently and on time. Distrusts dissent and different
perspectives. Takes its own
collective wisdom too seriously.
Continuously improves Change is a path to yesterday. No
paradigm shifts
Organisational Life Cycle
• 1. The Dream IN_P
• 2. The Venture E__J
• 3. Getting Organised IS_J
• 4. Making It EN_F
• 5. Becoming an Institution ISTJ
• 6. Closing in… deepening of 5
• 7. Death… Replaced by new extraverted ventures based on intuitive dreams
Execs x 2
• Team MBTI.
• Second event linking MBTI with 360.
• Considered MBTI types (ENTP) and Strategy.
• Knowledge of “Organisation type” (ISTJ) and many individuals helped with this discussion.
• Follow up events – MBTI and possibly a “System Event”
Other exciting MBTI stuff….
• Taking part in the MBTI COP
• Worked with Lorna and Alison Drage
with huge group of Dental staff
• Worked with Ali Jennings to deliver
big diagnostic at Salisbury Hospital
• Ali working with me on system Exec
team work
Parting thoughts….
• We have been successful because we have
allowed a “pull” rather than “push approach.
• We have taken opportunities to weave MBTI into
everything you do – this feeds peoples curiosity
and engenders insightful conversations.
• We try to take part in the COP – you will learn so
much from colleagues and they form a rich pool
of support when you might want to do something
a bit scary!
