Welcome to Leadership by 16Personalities
If you’re new, start here…
Whether you’re just joining us or you’ve been here a while, welcome.
Leadership by 16Personalities was created to help leaders like you master personality-driven leadership and lead teams that are more connected, effective, and happy at work.
This is where we share our (many) years of research and insights into personality theory, all tailored to help you lead in a more balanced, individualistic, respectful, and capable way.
First time hearing about 16Personalities? We’re the team behind the world’s most popular personality test. With over 1 billion tests taken and a 91% accuracy rating, we’ve been helping people understand themselves and others better for years.
And now, we’re bringing our expertise directly to business leaders through the Leadership by 16Personalities publication.
What to Expect from This Publication
Each month, we’ll explore a focused leadership topic through the lens of personality. Some months might be a little heavier on professional development, others on personality, but most of the time, we follow a typical format:
Monthly Challenges: A monthly challenge on a specific leadership topic, with tips on how to execute what you learn in just a few minutes a day.
Personality Deep-Dives: We’ll help you apply the month’s topic with your team by breaking it down by either personality Role or trait. (Sometimes it’s easier to spot a single trait in team members when you don’t know their full personality type.)
One-off articles: Occasionally, we’ll explore something that’s tangentially related to that month’s topic with a focused article. Like when we shared 3 scripts to help you handle a micromanaging boss, or how to discover your personal mission statement.
