As previewed in our launch webinar on Monday, the June convening will include a session on team capacity-building and effectiveness, based on team MBTI reports. All Invest Health team members should take the MBTI assessment online by Tuesday, May 24, 2016. Detailed instructions on completing the MBTI assessment are in the PDF below.
Note: Only the five “official” Invest Health team members are eligible to take the assessment. Each team will receive a copy of its team report at the June convening. Even if one of your five team members will not be present at the convening, your team will still participate in and can learn from the session. The team report will be sent home with your team for further team discussion.
