In my MBTI® Certification workshops I sometimes ask groups to describe leadership. In one exercise they flip-chart their contributions, what they might overdo/overlook, what they need to be their best, and what others do that annoys them. Groups also come up with a leadership motto. These visual representations of type preferences help illustrate individual differences.
Here is a photo of a response from an NT group.
The NT themes of visioning and analyzing are seen throughout their points. Their motto “Creative Craniums” sums this up nicely.
They note that they may be overly committed to ideas and may miss details. To deal with this, they want to have others around them who are detail oriented.
Competence in others is essential and they find emotional responses and close-minded people annoying.
Do you have NT preferences or have you worked for an NT leader? Are your leadership experiences similar to the ones presented here?
