Myers-Brigg Indicator (graded)

You are the civil
engineering foreman in charge of a 24-person group whose charter is to erect
3,000 tents for refugees who lost their homes in an earthquake. You have 10 days to accomplish erecting
the tents. Based
on the team member resumes you received, you selected four people (two men, two
women) to be team chiefs of six-person details (4 X 6 = 24 group members).
The first one is Mary;
she is an extrovert (ESTJ). The
second is Joe, and he is a sensing data gatherer (ISTP). The third is Amy, and she is a thinker
versus a feeling-type (INTJ). Finally,
Ted is a judging versus a perceiving type of fellow (ENFJ).
There are going to be
some tense, tough days ahead. Your
work will have to be coordinated with utilities personnel, emergency workers,
firefighters, police, care organizations, temporary housing units
organizations, and many other people and groups. Many stakeholders are involved.
Given the scenario
above, tell how you will communicate with each team leader when delivering
complex information in a stressful situation. Propose effective communication
techniques for the different personality types. Use relevant research to back up your
points.
