Leadership Development Experts
Dr. Katherine Benziger
Many of us have read or even operate and facilitate around the same community of authors and team/leadership experts. We all know and either like or dislike the work of Blanchard, Covey, Lencioni and Kouzes and Posner. We enjoy the personality dynamics presented by Jung, Myers Briggs, Eysenck, and other personality theories. But the month of December we will dedicate to some of intellectuals who may not be as well known in the area of team and leadership development. Experts like Dr. Katherine Benziger.
Dr. Katherine Benziger is a true pioneer and leading expert in her field. Her work has for the past 25 years focused on the proper and ethical development and application of personality assessing in the global business environment. Significantly, Dr Benziger prefers the term personality assessing, rather than personality testing, to describe her approach. Katherine Benziger is keen to distance herself from the ‘personality testing’ industry, for which ‘falsification of type’, and the interests of the individual - rather than the organization - are not generally seen as a priority concerns. For Dr Benziger they are.
See also the Personality Models and Types section which includes more about Benziger’s theory in relation to Jung, Myers Briggs, Eysenck, and other personality theories.
In my search of learning as much as I can and to be the best facilitator I can be, I look for other experts worth mentioning. Who do you think should be recognized for their contributions to human and professional development? We’d love to hear from you.
