After a long day, with your patience juice all used up, have you ever come home and lost your temper on those you love most?

I have.

What if you could stop yelling at your kids?

You can. I mean, really, it’s possible.

Let us show you how.

This is the first of many “Let’s See Some BEARs” podcasts where we take a specific topic and run BEAR models on it.

PS: Towards the end, I share a time when I didn’t show up as the deliberate dad I wanted to be, and what Brittany said that completely changed how I parent ever since.

If you have any items from one of your current or future BEAR models that you want us to run (one Belief from your thought download, an Emotion, Action or Result), contact us or schedule a free coaching session with a certified coach.

We can leave you completely anonymous, but still address the struggle you want to solve or result you want to reach.

We go deeper into a whole new level of self-awareness as we learn about the Four Mental Functions

Everyone “has” and uses all four functions (Sensing, iNtuition, Thinking and Feeling)

Type dynamics = the order in which each type accesses and uses the four functions.

Click here to order your personalized report that shows the type dynamics for your type.

* Dominant function (favorite/driver/most used/if a superhero – it’s Batman) * Auxiliary function (balances dominant function/if a superhero – it’s the sidekick – the Robin) * Tertiary function (not in your type code/not used much/if like a person’s development in age – it’s the teenage years) * Inferior function (least favorite or developed/like a person – it’s the infant years)

See how these 4 functions impact how you make decisions. This is one the most important insights from understanding your MBTI.

In any decision-making situation, we are likely to put most of our energy into – spend most of our time – using our dominant function.

Table below shows the amount of time during a 60 minute meeting that you would spend in each function. You’d spend half the time or 30 minutes in your dominant function and 5 minutes (or 0 if you ran out of time) in you inferior function.

In Episode #27 you learned your MBTI preference, now see how to use those insights to better lead and work with others.

Having trouble deciding between the type dichotomies…not sure if you have a preference toward Extroversion and Introversion or Thinking vs. Feeling, then the first 5 minutes gives you several examples to help clarify.

Lastly, get tips for how to better work with someone in the opposite personality type preference. For example, if you have a preference toward Extroversion, see what the Introverts in your life would want you to know, and how you can flex your natural preference to better work with them.

Have you ever been asked if you’re an ESTJ or INFP and thought, “I have no idea what you’re talking about?”

After the next 25 minutes, you’ll be able to not only know what MBTI is, but also have an accurate self-assessment of your own 4-letter personality type…all for FREE.

Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® or MBTI® is a thoroughly researched training and development tool used by most Fortune 500 companies. 

If you want additional and personalized insights into your MBTI preferences, click here to purchase your individualized report. 

MBTI suggests that we have opposing ways or preferences of gaining energy (Extraversion or Introversion), gathering or becoming aware of information (Sensing or INtuition), deciding on or coming to a conclusion about that information (Thinking or Feeling), and dealing with the world around us (Judging or Perceiving). 

It describes our personality preferences and not our skills or abilities, thus there is no right or wrong answers – no better or worse types.

Put it together, and the four-letter type is a “code” – the key to understanding your dynamic personality pattern, (e.g. ESTJ, INFP, or ENFJ, etc.).  There are 16 personality types or 16 different ways of being normal.

While going through this episode, answer what you prefer while removing any expectations or demands you might face from work, family, or friends.  In other words, think about what your preferences are without any consequences. 

You can also continue with episodes #28, #29 and #30 for even more MBTI knowledge bombs.

As part of the New Manager Quick Start, the NLA should be mandatory for every newly appointed leader in your organization because it is so powerful. You won’t regret doing it!

What is a New Leader Assimilation or NLA?

When a new leader starts, the team (s)he inherits is going through a change.

The NLA is a meeting with the new leader, an impartial facilitator (HR, OD or consultant), and team members.

Instead of team members having concerns or questions unanswered in their mind, this meeting gives them a chance to voice them, but in a safe setting, while getting to know the new leader and each other

The goal is to improve effectiveness and decrease cycle time for the new leader and team to “get up to speed” by getting acquainted with the new leader’s background, style and operating preferences

The new leader can gain insight into team members’ concerns about the organization and/or the leader

We’ll discuss how to prepare for it and what to cover during the session.

The Myers Brigs Type Indicator or MBTI can also be used with the NLA or as a separate team meeting, so we’ll briefly cover that and then go into more detail over the next several podcasts. Click here to order your MBTI report

Employees change jobs/positions every few years, and yet we always seem to be caught off guard or ill-prepared when the new person starts.

What if the person leaving the role (the “incumbent”) captured all the main things that were part of the job BEFORE they left?

Ideally, they could train the new hire, but even if they’re long gone before the new person starts, the FREEBIE discussed in today’s podcast will ensure the information lives on.

You know the drill, you get assigned to a new project or a new team and immediately begin to work withother people.

Soon, you find that one team member can’t stop talking while another is silent.

During a presentation, one only wants to hear what’s proven to have worked in the past, while anotherkeeps brainstorming what could be in the future.

When working the project plan, one wants to start early and have the detailed plan broken down by step#89.3 by July 5th at 2pm and another wants to wait to plan as they do their best work right before the deadline.

Based on their actions, you then tell yourself stories for what it means when they only respond to your long e-mail with an emoji, or why they seem to enjoy asking a million questions and critiquing your proposals.

How much time do you waste, and stress or frustration do you feel by waiting to understand how to best work with them?

I recently had an insight when I bought a new appliance. With my new purchase, I got a user’s manuals to learn how to work with it. If I thought this gadget was complicated, how much more are people!

Then it hit me…what if I had a user’s manual or a guide that gave me immediate insights into the people I work with?

Instead of spending weeks or months figuring out what motivates them, their communication style, or how they make decisions, what if we had the conversation up-front?

As we continue the New Manager Quick Start podcast series, episode #23 covers how to create a user’s guide to help others who are beginning to work with you.

You can share it to spark a conversation about how you like to work and more importantly, to ask about their preferences and style. Save time and stress later by having the conversation now.
