Which Personality Types Make the Best Bosses According to Myers Briggs?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/p>\n
ENFJ <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
Extraversion (E), Intuition (N), Feeling (F), Judgment (J)<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
ENFJs bosses are known for being outgoing and enthusiastic. Bringing the entire workplace together, ENFJs make sure that everyone feels like a strong team. ENFJs bosses work hard to ensure every person in the group feels valued and is skilled at delegating work to the side. <\/span><\/p>\n
ENFJs bosses have very high expectations for their employees as they work extremely hard and are often capable of juggling many jobs at once- this leads them to be somewhat demanding. <\/span><\/p>\n
Because of their abilities to excel in the workplace, ENFJs usually expect the same level of effort from everyone else. ENFJs may push others to achieve goals, but that comes from a place of support. <\/span><\/p>\n
ENFJs don’t respond well to challenges that threaten their leadership, and it may make them angry at their workers.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
ENTJ <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
Extraversion (E), Intuition (N), Thinking (T), Judgment (J)<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
ENTJs take on a leadership role like a duck to water. ENTJs readily understand how to manage others with ease and are aggressive and willing to do what it takes to get the projects up and running. <\/span><\/p>\n
Due to their passionate drive, ENTJs can be seen as overbearing and domineering. ENTJs have little patience for inefficiency and lack of loyalty and will respond negatively to workers who possess those qualities. <\/span><\/p>\n
If you’re a hard-working person, the ENTJ boss will be very outgoing and enjoyable to be around.<\/span><\/p>\n

ENFP<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
Extraversion (E), Intuition (N), Feeling (F), Perception (P)<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
Inspiring ENFPs are enthusiastic and imaginative bosses. ENFPs have a way of bringing people together and inspiring a positive attitude that makes people put in the extra effort. <\/span><\/p>\n
ENFPs are not comfortable being dictators and dislike the feeling of bossing others around. As bosses, Warm and welcoming ENFPs want to work alongside their employees and motivate them to feel like they can achieve their goals.<\/span><\/p>\n
ENFP bosses aren’t driven by a need to make rules and regulations, but rather fuel their workers with a sense of mutual respect. <\/span><\/p>\n
ENFP bosses may struggle with workers who require a stricter type of boss, or when reprimanding is necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
INTJ<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
Introversion (I), Intuition (N), Thinking (T), Judgment (J)<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
INTJs may be reluctant to approach a leadership role since given a choice; they much prefer to stand back and observe. Although they aren’t always the apparent boss, they make excellent and natural leaders. <\/span><\/p>\n
INTJs often know just how to strategize a goal and bring a team together to achieve it. INTJs are very open-minded and are willing to hear out their worker’s ideas and value their opinions. <\/span><\/p>\n
They are skilled at figuring out who to delegate specific responsibilities to and understand what actions are needed. In some cases, the INTJ may be seen as aloof and can appear insensitive to sensitive employees. <\/span><\/p>\n
The INTJ makes for an excellent boss to an understanding employee.<\/span><\/p>\n

ENTP <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
Extraversion (E), Intuition (N), Thinking (T), Perception (P)<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
ENTPs are open-minded and eager bosses. They are very willing to allow their workers the room to explore new possibilities and enjoy giving them creative freedoms. <\/span><\/p>\n
They are excited to discuss their ideas with their workers and want to hear from them to debate the opportunities. At the end of discussions, the ENTP is often good at figuring out the best ideas to implement and are good at inspiring others to do so. <\/span><\/p>\n
ENTPs may lack focus sometimes and get lost in building plans rather than organizing them. If they can come together and work with others who are goal-oriented, they can make for excellent and well-liked leaders.<\/span><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
ISTJ <\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n
Introversion (I), Sensing (S), Thinking (T), Judgment (J)<\/h3>\n
<\/p>\n
ISTJs have a powerful sense of duty, and because of this, they make excellent leaders. They may not be outgoing or expressive, but ISTJs are capable of defining the goals and achieving them. <\/span><\/p>\n
They are very good at dictating responsibility to others, and often know who they can trust to deliver excellent work. They have very high standards and dislike when their workers are slackers or do not try hard enough. <\/span><\/p>\n
They may not express emotion often, which allows them to keep their feelings out of their leadership. This will come across as insensitive to some employees but ultimately makes for an organized workplace.<\/span><\/p>\n
