Research shows: Manager-employee relationships are critical to employee well-being and engagement
Research shows that an employee’s relationship with their manager has an especially large effect on their well-being.2
The problem is—not all managers are skilled at maintaining relationships. They might not know the best way to communicate with their employees and give them what they need.Why? Because different people need different things to have a great relationship. That’s where the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) can help.
Understanding personality differences can:
- Foster deeper relationships between managers and employees
- Help both people communicate with each other better
- Improve understanding of differences
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator helps people connect. And better relationships are built on connection.
