Transcript of Emerging Innovations in Servant-Leadership: Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
Barbra Kingsley Servant-leadership
“I see it as something latent in the individual to be fulfilled. It is the seed of what is uniquely each person. Providing the conditions for its germination, emergence, and growth is the search” (Greenleaf, 2003, p. 115).
Servant-leaders grow through the sharpened judgment that comes from authentic interaction with others (p. 76).
Followers grow through the interaction, attention, and guidance provided by the servant-leader.

Our preferences can affect what we see
…and can limit our ability to address all sides of the issue
By engaging those with different preferences
…we see more, anticipate more, and experience more!
Allowing others to do things differently
Creating a place for creative tension between approaches
Using individual preferences to strengthen the whole
Recognizing that there are different ways of being and seeing
Honoring what makes each person unique
Allowing people to use their gifts instead of stifling them
Growing autonomous beings and not “clones”
Ensuring that MBTI doesn’t lapse into categories or stereotypes
Using strong preferences yet developing weak ones
Allowing others to change and flourish
Do those served grow as persons; do they, while being served, become healthier, wiser, freer, more autonomous, more likely themselves to become servants(Greenleaf, 1977, p. 27).
