Leadership and Team Building

Using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Margerison and McCann Team Management System (TMS)

Dr. Sample has extensive experience facilitating leadership and team building sessions using the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and the Team Management Systems (TMS).

The MBTI and TMS add value by:

• Matching the natural preferences of talented employees to work requirements.
• Increase job satisfaction and retention through effective job placement.
• Encourages employees to seek out projects that utilize their natural preferences.
• Develops teams by focusing on linking skills (coordination, coope4ration, customer relations, encouraging respect and trust).

His approach is to view leadership and team development from the perspective of interpersonal skill and communication practices, thus giving credence to the importance of individual differences (diversity) in the workplace.

Whereas the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is based on the whole person in a variety of contexts, the Margerison & McCann Team Management System (TMS) is based on only work related contexts. The TMS identifies eight work related preferences, team preference roles and linking skills that integrate individual preferences with team tasks. Both approaches are based on the Jungian theories of psychological theories of archetypes.

Dr Sample has used the MBTI and TMS in a variety of organizational contexts:

• Peoples First Community Bank
• SallieMae Financial Services
• Premium Assignment Corporation
• Florida Credit Union League
• Envision Credit Union
• Florida Chamber of Commerce
• U. S. Navy Research & Development Lab
• U. S. Air Force - Civil Engineering Support Unit

Dr. Sample holds the following certifications in the administration and interpretation of the MBTI and TMS:

• Certified by the Center for Applications for Psychological Type (trained by Dr. Mary McCaulley).
• Certified in the Team Management Systems by the National Consulting and Training Institute (trained by Dr. Charles Margerison).
