I happened to be on LinkedIn over the weekend, and read a really fabulous story written by Eileen Broer about using type cues, and general type awareness to help someone be more effective in their position. Although I think it’s definitely preferable to know everyone’s type when you’re trying to do team work, I think this story illustrates beautifully how even being aware of type can help you improve your own organizational effectiveness.

Making a decision can be a lot like making a cake – you gather the data, mix in your perceptions, criteria of success, and priorities, simmer for some undisclosed period of time, and voila! The problem with group decision making is that there can be a lot of conflicting priorities, perceptions, and preferences – it’s like having too many cooks in the kitchen.
