1. The Person-Role-System Framework The exercise of leadership is influenced by a person's preferences and the role he or she plays in formal and informal systems. The person-role-system framework is used to address common barriers to aligned action. Answer the following questions to apply the framework.

	System Where do you exercise your primary leadership role? What sector are you in and how does that influence your role? How is success defined? Role What is your formal title? How does it describe what you do and what authority you have? What is your informal authority, what is its source?
Person How does who you are as a person influence how you exercise your leadership in role?

2. Personal Preferences Influence the Exercise of Leadership MBTI is one lens to understand how a person exercises their leadership in a role. MBTI provides a common language for leaders to know their own preferences and understand those of others.

4. From Awareness to Aligned Action The following are examples of how to use MBTI awareness to move to aligned action:

Action	Example
Propose a norm	Propose a pause for quiet reflection. Both Introverts and Extroverts will benefit from the opportunity to process internally and listen openly.
Strength based problem-solving	The following sequence uses everyone's strengths to solve problems (Z model): 1. Review the facts (Sensing strength) 2. Consider the options (iNtuitive strength) 3. Apply criteria to choose the best option(s) (Thinking strength) 4. Before making a final decision about which option(s) to implement explore the impact on people of that choice (Feeling strength)
