Leading and Managingwith Personality Type
Discover how Jungian personality types and the Myers-Briggs framework can help you become a more effective, empathetic, and influential leader. Build teams that communicate, collaborate, and perform at their best.
The best leaders do not just manage tasks.
They understand the people doing the work.
Use personality type to lead with greater insight, empathy, and effectiveness
This course explores Jungian Personality Types and the Myers-Briggs framework to help leaders understand how people gain energy, absorb information, make decisions, and structure their lives. You will learn about Extraversion and Introversion, Sensing and Intuition, Thinking and Feeling, and Judging and Perceiving.
You will learn how to identify your natural strengths, recognise your biases, and appreciate the differences in others. The course also introduces the four Mental Functions and how they pair to form distinct Functional Pairs that shape how people perceive and judge the world.
You will discover why people respond differently to ambiguity, structure, and social interaction, and how to build trust, encourage cooperation, and communicate effectively across personality differences.
The course supports authentic leadership by deepening your understanding of human behaviour and interpersonal dynamics. It is ideal for leaders, managers, coaches, educators, and anyone curious about personality and its impact on relationships.

What learners say
Robin Hills is the founder of Ei4Change and a recognised authority in emotional intelligence, with more than 45 years of experience as a business psychologist, trainer, and facilitator.
Emotional intelligence is not one topic among many in his work. It is the central focus. His teaching is built on a clear principle: emotional intelligence only matters when it is applied in real situations that shape decisions, relationships, and performance.
Through Ei4Change, Robin has developed one of the most established global platforms for emotional intelligence learning and development. His courses have reached over 600,000 learners across more than 200 countries, spanning a wide range of roles, industries, and levels of experience.
His approach is grounded in psychological research and informed by practical experience. Rather than offering quick fixes or surface level insight, he focuses on helping people think clearly under pressure, handle difficult situations, and make better decisions in the moment.
Robin's work reflects the reality that emotional intelligence is not about feeling good. It is about understanding what is happening within yourself and with others, and responding in a way that improves outcomes.
