Lafferty  \n1 Myers-Briggs and Servant-Leadership:  \nThe Servant-Leader and Personality Type  \nEditor’s Note: This publication is drawn from a series of conversations between Ralph Lewis and Larry C. Spears over a period of several years. The central focus is on the intersecting points between Myers-Briggs and servant-leadership—two separate concepts that, the authors believe, when taken together, can serve to further their mutual development.  \nLarry C. Spears: You and I have had several lengthy conversations over the years regarding servant-leadership and Myers-Briggs. Given your knowledge and experience as an MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) trainer, why don’t we begin with a quick review of the origins ofwhat is now generally referred to as Myers-Briggs, and which grew out of Carl Jung’s writings.  \nRalph Lewis: The most important place to start on the Myers-Briggs side is with Carl Jung, and then to place upon that the typology that Isabelle and her mother Katherine MyersBriggs developed. For me, Jung gives a very simple, coherent framework that is actually about human development. Jung was not interested so much in the classification of people as he is in the creation of a “compass,”  \na map, to look at the journey that we all have throughout life. For Jung, typology was a starting point—a basic orientation for how we deal with the world. At the core of all ofit is the recognition that each person has preferences in viewing the world. It is not so much a given as a starting point to say this is your personal preference for how you deal with all the issues and complexities of the world—how you choose to make meaning of the world. But, I think a very important point to stress here, Larry, is that it’s a journey, and once we understand the beginnings of where these  \npreferences are, Jung is quite clear that whether we like it or not, we need to develop a dynamic within ourselves. In fact, Jung saw this as a source of much creativity.  \nKatherine and Isabelle Myers then translated Jung’s work into what is called the MyersBriggs Type Inventory (MBTI), which they started in the 1920s in Florida. Their premise was very much in line with Jung, and with Robert Greenleaf, which was to help people to understand their own unique gifts. In fact, Isabelle’s last work on Briggs typology was called Gifts Differing, which was based on a quotation from St. Paul. She really wanted to emphasize that we all have gifts that we bring into the world, and for her, the most important aspect of the typology was in helping us recognize those gifts in ourselves, but also, recognizing those gifts in other people. That is why I think that Isabe","cbCaitS5eAeYOebf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitS5eAeYOebf","pdf",1723798,32,"English","# 1.
