Leadership Report

This report is intended to help you explore and expand your understanding of the

leadership style you use in your organization and how others might perceive and

react to it. The information in this report is based on your responses to two

instruments: the FIRO-B® (Fundamental Interpersonal Relations Orientation-

BehaviorTM) and the MBTI® (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®) assessments.

Both instruments tap into key aspects of personality and behavior in areas such as

communication, problem solving, decision making, and interpersonal relations. The

instruments are also distinct, each providing a view of your leadership personality

through a different window. Together, they complement each other and provide

rich information of use in your personal, ongoing leadership development program.

OVERALL LEADERSHIP ORIENTATION

The following snapshot combines your MBTI and FIRO-B results. Reviewing this

section may help you recognize the most fundamental aspects of your leadership

orientation—the preferences and needs that shape how you lead.

to view your leadership style.

your ingenuity and logic.

_ In a leadership role, you value vision, personal mastery, competence,

possibilities, principles, communication, adaptability, and ingenuity.

flexible principles.

conceptual, logical, creative, ingenious, resourceful, critical, and

strategic.

challenging questions, and overseeing the linking of systems and strategies.

Your Leadership Approach

Your relatively strong need for Affection, as measured by the FIRO-B assessment,

colors in a particular way the image of your leadership personality formed by the MBTI

lens. With the FIRO-B “filter” applied to the MBTI lens, the following overall

picture of your leadership approach emerges:

_ You show your support and encouragement by asking questions,

challenging others, and providing usable frameworks for action.

devising ingenious ways of resolving differences.
