COURSE OUTLINE
What is MBTI® and Why It Matters at Work
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) is one of the most widely used personality frameworks for understanding how people perceive the world, make decisions, and interact with others. Backed by over 70 years of research, MBTI remains a trusted tool for building self-awareness and improving team effectiveness in professional settings.
By recognising differences in communication, motivation, and working styles, teams can develop stronger alignment and empathy. This leads to less friction, better collaboration, and healthier work environments, especially when facing diverse perspectives or rapid change.
At MJI, our MBTI workshops turn these insights into practical action. Participants leave with strategies to improve cross-team collaboration, enhance leadership presence, and adapt more effectively to the needs of today’s workplace.
