Type and modifiers: needs, conflict styles and use of power,
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding Your Management Style: Beyond the Meyers-Briggs Type Indicator (Hardcover)
This book applies Myers-Briggs type theory and much more to the way managers operate. I found most interesting the distinction between type preferences, which are essentially given, and needs, which are formed by interaction with the environment. Needs are independent of type. For example, a Thinker can have high nurturance needs - the need to help and be affectionate towards others. He has more interesting material about conflict management style and the kinds of power managers use. They were interesting, but unlike the needs discussion, I think it would be very difficult to accurately assess these for yourself. There are too obviously "right" and "wrong" answers in these areas. After all, don't we all know that it's usually not right or effective to use "coercive" power? A good book, and worthwhile adjunct to those interested in applying more than just Myers-Briggs type to management issues. |
