About the APT eChapter: www.APT-eChapter.org

The APT eChapter is the first Virtual Chapter of the Association for Psychological Type International (APTi). Founded in 2005, it serves English-speaking members of APTi in an online setting regardless of their on-ground location. The eChapter was created by a task force of APTi members who wanted to meet the needs of under-served APTi members who are unable to join a local on ground chapter. Currently, eChapter members are found throughout the US, Canada, England, Switzerland, and Brazil.

The eChapter will be gathering for a rare on ground meeting on Friday, July 13, at the APTi Biennial Conference in Baltimore MD. The next teleconference is on August 14, Type and Physical Exercise, led by Suzanne Brue. For more details, see the eChapter website at www.APT-eChapter.org.

Unbalanced Influence

Leaders feel the pull of multiple influencers that shape their behavior and perceptions as they struggle to be effective. These influencers often seem unbalanced—encumbered with countless paradoxes or misguided myths. Uncommon terms in leadership—what's a paradox and myth in effective leadership?

"Leadership myth" is an embedded view that encumbers leaders with a misconception of the actions and methods they should engage as they seek to move their organizations forward.

"Leadership paradox" is competing demands for leaders to accept leadership practices that conventional wisdom maintains will yield favorable results, but that in fact fall short of promised outcomes; opposing pressures for leaders to avoid seemingly failing practices that will in reality have a compelling impact.
