Leadership Report Using the FIRO-B® and MBTI® Instruments Eugene R. Schnell Report prepared for JANE SAMPLE April 17, 2008 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 OrientationBehaviorTM) 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. The report is written assuming that you understand your results on both instruments and a trained professional has interpreted your results on the FIRO-B and MBTI tools. This Leadership Report begins with a snapshot of your leadership style. The Overall Leadership Orientation section highlights how you lead. Next, the report offers a brief interpretive overview of your results on the FIRO-B and the MBTI instruments. The report then describes your leadership style in various contexts: in interpersonal relationships, in teams, and at the level of organizational culture. Next, it identifies some strengths you may have and possible challenges you might face in dealing with change and stress. Near the end of your report is an Action Plan that details several points you may want to include in your personal development agenda. The Resources that conclude the report include publications that will help you better understand your results on the FIRO-B and MBTI assessments.

It is up to you to verify the statements and decide how well they describe you. The FIRO-B and the MBTI tools examine your leadership style from different perspectives, thus once in a while what your results on one inventory say about you can seem to contradict your results on the other inventory. Upon close examination, however, seemingly inconsistent statements may nonetheless offer valid insights, with the instruments together offering a view of the finer contours of your personality. In addition to supplying you with information about your own leadership style, this report can help you, as a leader • recognize that each person has both strengths and possible blind spots; • allow for wide divergence in people's views, attitudes, values, and behaviors; • see different operating styles as an opportunity to bring diverse talents and strengths together in an organization; and • use leadership approaches that match the situation and people's differing needs, in spite of your own needs and preferences.
