How to Use 16-Type Tendencies to Improve Team Collaboration

Introduction

Diverse teams perform better, but they also conflict more. The 16-type system helps you harness the diversity without the drama.

The Roles You Need

• The Visionaries (N types): To see where the market is going and dream up new products.
• The Implementers (S types): To build the product, manage the logistics, and ensure quality.
• The Analyzers (T types): To critique the plan, manage the budget, and ensure efficiency.
• The Harmonizers (F types): To manage the culture, ensure customer satisfaction, and build morale.

Avoiding "Groupthink"

If you hire only people like you, you get blind spots. An all-N team will have great ideas but never launch. An all-S team will run efficiently but miss the next big trend. Balance is key.
