Pearman, who is associated with a company specializing in talent management and development services, and Albritton, who is associated with a strategic leadership consultancy focused on change management and organizational effectiveness, explain how to use Myers-Briggs personality types to gain insights into human experiences at home, work, and in the world. They argue that this understanding will help readers see the positive intentions of others, promote tolerance and good listening, and create empathy. They explain type and how it works, its application to the management of emotions, personal effectiveness, and communication both at home and at work. Reorganized and integrating current research, this edition adds four new chapters on the link between type and emotional intelligence, generational issues and cultural variables, and how type influences personal effectiveness in change, careers, stress, and health.
