This document discusses how the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality assessment can help with leadership development. It notes that effective leadership depends on understanding one's own behavior and being able to adapt styles when necessary. The MBTI can help leaders improve relationships, communication, problem-solving and other skills by providing insight into their personality type and preferences. Taking the MBTI online assessment is recommended for further understanding one's strengths and growth areas as a leader.
