This Spotlight package focuses on the personality types that make up a team--and how to get the best from any combination. In "Pioneers, Drivers, Integrators, and Guardians," Suzanne Johnson Vickberg and Kim Christfort of Deloitte discuss strategies for making the most of cognitive diversity on teams. When teams fall short of their potential, it's often because leaders don't know how to spot and manage the differences in how people approach their work. To help organizations claim this lost value, Deloitte developed a framework for identifying and managing four primary working styles. "Pioneers" value possibilities, and they spark energy and imagination on their teams. "Guardians" value stability, and they bring order and rigor. "Drivers" value challenge and generate momentum. And "Integrators" value connection and draw teams together. Every person is a composite of these four styles, though most people are closely aligned with one or two. To get the most from the styles on their teams, leaders should (1) pull opposite types closer together to generate productive friction, (2) give more visibility and voice to people with nondominant perspectives, and (3) take extra care to get input from sensitive introverts, who risk being drowned out but have valuable contributions to make. In "How Styles Inform Leadership," senior leaders at Marriott, American Express, Southwest, National Grid, and Kellogg share their experiences in applying Deloitte's framework in their teams and organizations. In "If You Understand How the Brain Works, You Can Reach Anyone"--a Q&A with Helen Fisher, the biological anthropologist whose research informed Deloitte's work on team chemistry--Fisher explains the science behind her work, talks about how to deal productively with others' personality styles, and considers whether personality screening can and should inform management decisions. Finally, "A Brief History of Personality Tests" looks at the personality tests that have shaped the industry.
