Introduction/purpose
In order for any organization to realize its goals and objectives
,there is need to understand the personalities of all the people
within the organization and above all,a firm,decisive and
proper leadership has to be provided by those in authority or
incharge of any aspect in the organization.
You can only get the best out of people and be able to handle
them appropriately if you understand their diverse personalities.
This paper therefore tries to dwelve into understanding and
analysing personality through Myer Briggs Type Indicator
(MBTI),the big five ,Emotional intelligence and having a grasp
on what leadership is about.
Leadership
Leadership has been defined and given different explanations by
different people (Helmrich,2015). To me, leadership is about

2. firmly and clearly showing direction that the organization is
taking or should be taking and making decisions that ought to
be made.To a large extent, an organization is how it is and
where it is courtesy of the leadership in place.
It is therefore as clear as dawn that leadership is a critical
component of an organization success and performance.
However, there is no universal leadership style that can be
employed by all organizations.The leadership style to be
employed depends on the organization itself,the prevailing
circumstances or situation.
Personality types
Each person has a given type of personality at least according to
Myer Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) (Briggs et al, 1998).My
personality type is ISFJ where:
I -stands for intuitive
S-stands for Sensing
F- stands for Feeling and
J- stands judgement
This is because I possess and exhibit the following
characteristics:
a) Am very industrious and down to earth.
b) Am so mindful of the feelings and tribulations of others.
c) Am very welcoming, friendly and so warm to others.
d) Am very creative and imaginative.
e) Very welcoming to new ideas.
f) Very empathic and softhearted.
g) Prefer cordial relationship in all my interactions.
h) Like doing things in a systematic and chronological manner.
i) Plan my life and activities both in the short, medium and long
term.
j) Make decisions base don available facts.
k) Focus on reality not imaginations .
l) Not judgemental of others in the organization.
m) Highly conscientious.

3. n) High level of emotional stability.
Emotional intelligence (EI)
Tay and Diener (2011) define emotional intelligence as the
ability of a person to know their own feelings as well as
emotions, and being able to handle them in the most appropriate
way.
I have strong and stable Emotional intelligence.This because I
am able to:
(i) Know and recognize my feelings and emotions any time as
they occur.
(ii) Handle my feelings and emotions even under pressure or
difficult and challenging situations.
(iii) Direct and guide my feelings and emotions in such a way
that it motivates me or leads me to my desired goals.
(iv) Identify and understand the feelings and emotions of others
and putting myself in their ‘shoes’.
(v) Build and maintain relationships with others despite our
likely differences in terms of emotions and feelings.
The big Five
There are five traits that sum up the personality of each and
every individual. These traits are famously referred to as the
Big Five (Boundless Management, 2014). They include:
(a) Agreeableness-this is the degree to which a person
cooperates and agrees with others on any issue. Based on this
trait, a person can either be a highlyagreeable person or less
agreeable person. A highly agreeable person tends to be very
welcoming, warm, cooperative and trusting while less agreeable
persons on the other hand are known to be unwelcoming and
always pulling towards an opposite direction (Long, 1992).
(b) Conscientiousness –This trait describes the extent to which
people exhibit responsibility and dependability in their lives
and whatever they do. Based on conscientiousness, an
individual can either be highly conscientious or low on
conscientiousness.
A highly conscientious person is very responsible, reliable,
consistent, persistent and organized and is more likely to

4. achieve his or her goals and objectives (Long, 1992). A person
low on conscientiousness is always unreliable, unpersistent
(easily distracted) and poorly organized. As such, a person is
not likely to achieve any goal or objective.
(c) Emotional stability- According to Brian Johnson (2013), it
refers to the ability of individuals to cope with stress or any
pressure exerted on their bodies or minds. According to this
trait, a person can be said to have high level of emotional
stability or low level of emotional stability.
Persons with high level of emotional stability are always calm,
composed and feeling secure even under the most stressing
situations.
Individuals with low emotional stability are characterised by
low self esteem , anxiety, nervousness and feeling of insecurity.
(d) Extroversion- This refers to how individuals express
themselves and how he or she relates and interacts with others.
Based on this trait, an individual can either be an extrovert or
an introvert.
An individual is said to be an extrovert if he or she is:
a) Sociable and lively.
b) Interacts freely with others.
c) Talkative and assertive.
d) Outgoing. Introverts on the other hand are very timid,quiet
but reflective and interact only with close friends and relatives.
(e) Openness to experience-This refers to the extent to which
people are creative, imaginative and ready to try new concepts
and interests. Based on this trait, individuals can either be
creative or artistic or conservative. Creative or artistic
individuals are those who are always curious, creative, and
imaginative and possess high level of intellectualism.
Conservatives on the other hand are individuals who prefer
maintenance of status quo, are pragmatic and are comfortable in
traditional ways of doing things.
Area of interest: Abraham Maslow Hierarchy of needs
Abraham Maslow Hierarchy is one such theory that has helped a

5. lot in understanding human needs and subsequently their
motivation. According to Macleod (2007), human beings will
always act or behave in a given manner that will enable them
satisfy their needs.
Maslow theory is based on the following assumptions and
propositions:
1. Human beings have needs and these needs are hierarchial in
nature starting from the most pressing needs at the bottom of
the hierarchy to less pressing but high level needs at the top of
the hierarchy.
2. All needs are never fully satisffied and only unsatisfied needs
influence behaviour in other words needs already satisfied do
not motivate individuals.
3. A person moves to the next higher level of the hierarchy only
if he or she has satisfied the needs in the lower level of the
hierarchy.
According to Maslow(1943,1954) ,human needs can be grouped
into five levels which are:
Source: Norwood, 2014
(i) Physiological needs
These are needs which are for human survival or rather basic
needs for example food, water, shelter, clothing, water, air and
sex. Needs at this level can be satisfied through: providing free
meals, decent salaries and wages, providing housing and
housing allowances.
(ii) Safety needs
These are needs for security both physical and mental or the
need to be free from any threats. Such needs can be fulfilled
by ensuring there is conducing working environment,providing
insurance cover,providing sustainable pension schemes or even
giving employees security of tenure or long term contracts.
(iii) Social needs
This refers to the need for affection, love, friendship, sense of
belonging and being in relationships. These needs can be
satisfied through measures such allowing employees to join

6. groups and clubs,encouraging free communication,organizing
get together parties and outings amongst others
(iv) Self-esteem needs
This is individual need for respect, status, recognition,
appreciation and prestige. They are also known as ego needs.
These needs can be met by giving individuals prestigious titles,
reserved parking, promotions, giving people more
responsibilities.
(v) Self actualization needs
This refers to the need for realization of one’s full potential and
self worth.such needs can be achieved through giving
employees very challenging tasks,creating avenues for their
career growth and advancement.
