People Focus vs Analysis Focus, Part 2

The OrgHealth Podcast

13-02-2020 • 15 mins

What is the data that people focus leaders see instantly and most leadership teams are sorely blind to? How do leadership teams get that perspective and information into their meetings so better decisions can be made? In Part 2, Jim and Margot share some stories of how real leaders and teams are succeeding with improving the disturbing imbalance of information in most leadership meetings.

What you’ll learn:

  • The MBTI is a tool we use with teams to identify and talk about the differences between people focus and analysis focus wiring. [00:02:51 - 00:02:14]
  • How can analysis focus leaders develop some of the skills that people focus leaders have naturally? How can these leaders move towards connecting more with the “pulse of the people” and engaging with his or her team better? [00:02:16 - 00:06:14]
  • What is the data that people focus leaders see that analysis focus leaders are almost always missing? [00:06:16 - 00:09:25]
  • What should leadership teams do if they are entirely composed of analysis focus leaders? What are some possibilities for bringing the people focus perspective to the table? [00:09:16 - 00:14:41]
