The target audience for the Masterclass series is those who are undertaking (or have previously undertaken) a leadership or management development programme within the University – the sessions aim to complement our learning about leadership. The speakers are people with senior leadership experience outside the University. The purpose of the Masterclasses is for leaders and managers in the University to learn about different aspects of leadership from the varying experiences of our speakers and to hear how different people see their role as a leader in a variety of different and often challenging situations. |

It presents a framework for understanding how you operate, how others operate, and how you can use that understanding to get more from yourself and the relationships you have with others. This workshop is led by a qualified MBTI practitioner and will involve taking the MBTI questionnaire, investigating the four areas of preference covered by MBTI, self-assessment of type with group exercises, looking at your best fit type and investigating how it could help you at work. Learning about your personality type can help you to understand your role within your team and the role of others. It can also help you to cope with organisational change, deal with stress effectively and develop your emotional intelligence. |
