This paper deals with a business area in the ABB Group where continuous efforts have been made to build and sustain teamwork and team spirit. It projects the efforts to use the Myer-Briggs Type Indicator™ for identifying the effect of temperament on management style. In essence, if a team is aware that a particular temperament is portrayed amongst the majority in the team, they will be enabled to work on strategies for behaviour modification. The focus will be to improve upon areas of vulnerability and further strengthen the strong areas of such a team. This process helps to build confidence amongst the team to take on new challenges.
