Summary
In this episode of the Hey Docs! Podcast, host Jill Allen welcomes back Kimberly Collins for an insightful discussion on the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and its practical applications, particularly in small business settings like orthodontic practices. They explore how understanding personality types can enhance team dynamics, improve leadership, and address workplace conflicts.

The conversation emphasizes the value of emotional intelligence and psychological safety in creating a harmonious and productive work environment.


Takeaways
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) can be a powerful tool for leaders, particularly in small business environments like orthodontic practices, to enhance self-awareness and understanding of their teams, ultimately creating more harmonious workplaces.
It is illegal to use personality typing systems like MBTI or Enneagram for hiring, job placement, or promotions. These tools should be implemented after hiring to understand team dynamics, not as a selection criterion.
MBTI focuses on "what" people do, categorizing behaviors and preferences, while the Enneagram digs into the "why" behind actions, examining underlying fears and desires. Both can be used complementarily within a practice for different purposes.
For personality typing systems to be effective in a workplace, psychological safety must be prioritized. Team members should feel comfortable expressing themselves without fear of retribution from leaders or colleagues.
Understanding that individuals and their leadership styles can evolve over time is important. Regular reassessment and continuous self-improvement can help leaders and their teams adapt and thrive as they grow professionally and personally.
