Just today I was working with leaders using type, and in this group of mainly Thinking deciders, there was a subtle diminishment of Feeling decision making. "T's make tough decisions, and Fs think about the people's needs." The business reality--if this statement were true--is that T is a business necesity and F is a "nice to have" (icing on the cake). If we remember that only the Feeling function can answer the question of what is good or bad--only the Feeling function can be passionate, excited and loyal, for each of these requires subjective attachment and assessment--if we remember these things, we see that F is as much a business requirement as is T. It is not F I feel the need to advocate for; it is the practice of making sure that I do everything I can as a trainer/consultant to level a playing field within each dichotomy. These are playing fields that rarely are level on their own. Go in armed with examples and data so you can work to balance the scales when so needed (and it will be needed almost always). And thanks to Sandy for spreading this important idea (and giving us Inner Landscapes--great book Sandy).
