If a
man does not keep pace with his companions,
perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
—Henry David Thoreau
We are all different.
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) classifies sixteen
different ways that people relate to one another and provides powerful
insights into our own communication styles and the communication styles
of others. Understanding your style and how it compares to someone
else’s can lead to better communication, more productivity, increased
employee satisfaction and ultimately better bottom-line results.
