How to Improve Decision Making For Both Logical Thinkers and Feelers Using Myers Briggs
A common cause of frustration in communicating with others is the difference between logical and values-based decision makers. Logical decision makers (like Mr Spock in the original Star Trek series) need sound reasoning to be the basis of their well thought through decisions. They remain distant from the impact of their decisions and take a helicopter view of the situation. It makes sense to them that each topic and decision is treated as a black box with inputs and outputs. Events create data which is then fed into the black box for the decision making process.
Delegating - Only Do what Only you Can do
Several of my coaching clients have requested support with either time management or work life balance When we have a discovery conversation on their challenge there is generally much more to discuss on the topic of insufficient delegation.

They hold themselves back or suffer from a lack of balance in their lives with too many hours at work.
***Are You Using the “Right" Leadership Style?
Last week I was coaching with a highly focused and talented leader. He asked me if he was using the “right” leadership style. What a great question!

Do you adapt your style for different people and different situations or do you adopt a one size fits all.
