Here's a recent article by Ed Morrison that points to the importance of appreciating different points of view when we work in the Civic Space. Small team work often drives innovation and entrepreneurship, and in close quarters, having a basic familiarity with personality types and traits - is especially helpful. With this understanding we can learn where people's strengths and weakness lie and how best to use available talent and skills.
From Ed onEcon-Dev Google group: (which you can freely join to learn about growing entrepreneurship with principles of Economic Gardening)
As part of the EG tool chest, Chris recommends that we become far more
versed in the issue of temperament. (For those of you who take the EG
training, you'll find that Chris is quite agile with Myers-Briggs.)
I confess, at first I did not understand the connection. But after the
training I saw the light.
The businesses that are most likely to be successful in our economies
are going to be based on networked business models. They must survive
in an economy that represents networks embedded in other networks:
complex adaptive systems.
In this environment, temperament matters. (Understanding these skills
is a bit like helping a business executive understand accounting: An
essential tool for growth.)
Here's a good article from this month's Ivey Business Journal:
(Ivey Business School is based at the University of Western Ontario.
Their business journal is very good: thoughtful and practical.)
