Working with personality tools to boost individual and team performance

Today's companies are going through increasingly frequent and rapid periods of transformation, whether linked to the evolution of technologies, globalization, or the need to adapt to changing consumer expectations. In this context, team management becomes an essential lever for making these transitions a success and boosting organizational performance. This is where personality assessment tools such as MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator), TKI (Thomas-Kilmann Instrument), and DISC can play a key role.

These tools offer a better understanding of individual differences in behavior, communication, conflict management and decision-making. By identifying the strengths and areas for improvement of managers, leaders and teams, they optimize collaboration, streamline communication and improve change management within organizations.

For example, the MBTI helps to decode the different psychological preferences of each employee, revealing natural leadership styles and preferred working methods. In a context of digital transformation, a leader oriented towards intuition and innovation (“N” typology) may be encouraged to explore more creative ideas, while a more pragmatic and concrete leader (“S”) will contribute to the rigorous execution of new initiatives.

The TKI, on the other hand, helps to better manage conflicts during periods of transformation, when tensions are often unavoidable. Thanks to this tool, managers can identify their conflict management style (competition, collaboration, compromise, avoidance, adaptation) and that of their teams, and thus adjust their approach to resolving disputes more constructively and quickly.

Finally, DISC, which focuses on behaviors at work, is particularly effective in improving team cohesion. In times of transformation, it creates synergies between dominant, influential, stable and conscientious profiles, and ensures that each individual plays a role in line with his or her natural strengths.

These tools are not just theoretical. They offer concrete perspectives for optimizing human performance, both on an individual and collective scale, thus fostering successful and sustainable transformation.
