MGI top managent development
The partners at MGI Malta together with their Business Development
Manager had recently two half days of top management team development
facilitated by Mr. Björn Hansson, a Swedish psychologist and
MBA specializing in Industrial and Organizational Psychology.
Mr. Hansson normally helps large organizations in Scandinavia with
coaching, team building, recruitment and assessment centres. Amongst
the companies utilising his services, one finds Volvo, Ericsson,
Skanska and Boston Consulting Group.
He offered MGI Malta an assessment of the top management team by
using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator ® (MBTI) to highlight
how communication, team building, leadership, change, conflicts
and stress is currently handled and how one can improve on the existing
systems.
By mapping out the similarities and differences between the three
partners, MGI Malta will be able to develop better communication
techniques between the partners, thus optimising their various strengths
which in turn helps to enhance the firm's leadership qualities and
the service provided to their clients.
Mr. Hansson is a regular visitor to our island, and MGI Malta hopes
to be able to re-utilise his services in the near future to assess
also the other associates within the firm.
MGI Malta helps national and international clients with Corporate
Finance, Accounting, Audit & Assurance, Taxation, Statutory
Compliance and Management Advisory. See
