Once I became involved in learning about personality type, an understanding of my four functions - iNtuition, Thinking, Feeling, and Sensing, was a powerful assistance to me in recognizing my behavior under extreme stress and how to bring myself back into balance. This also assisted me in understanding my impact on other people when my emotions were "ruling me" and helped me reign in my reactions and recognize how I could assist others that were involved in an emotional situation with me.

I know first-hand how transformative it can be for organizations who really get this. And, while this is written to leaders - it's not just leaders who can benefit from learning this - but entire organizations who want to value all team members. A very progressive organization I worked with 15 years ago taught everyone(yes,even the engineers Gregg) how to keep our "humaness" by talking about,naming and claiming emotions. The CEO was CEO of the year in Canada too. The more tools the better to build the sometimes tough and complicated relationships we deal with at work.
