Realise that a lot of things you find ‘best’, ‘obvious’ and ‘comfortable’ are Type related. Trying to make people of other Types be like this is neither effective nor helpful.

See how Type differences can complement each other and add more competence to a group.

Know how to get a good estimate of another person’s Type; anticipate some of their key attitudes, behaviours, strengths and difficulties.

Use diversity among colleagues as an asset for the group rather than a problem or irritant; add synergy and not conflict.

Become skilled at matching Types to tasks so you get the best possible outcome.

Use knowledge of Type to be even more accepting and less judgemental of permanent human differences.

Enjoy people even more.

Get a deep understanding that you cannot coach people to change their Type and its style.

You may be able to encourage and assist a person to live their Type at its best.

Use the Type descriptions as an aid to anticipate what is comfortable and usual behaviour for an associate.

Apply this knowledge to guide your expectations of what coaching can realistically achieve.

Know what sorts of Psychological Types are needed and can excel in your group.

Look for complementarity and diversity, not a group of replicas of you.

Select for complementarity and synergy in your group before comfort.

Use Psychological Type wisely and with forethought.
