I failed to plug @chrisweekly parent comment. He's right: ultimately what matters is change/adaptability, and refusing to fall for static, discrete, unchanging boundaries of some psychological categorization. Here's the Human Element's book's opening quote from Jung,
"The greatest and most important problems of life are all in a certain sense insoluble…. They can never be solved, but only outgrown…. This ‘outgrowing’, as I formerly called it, on further experience was seen to consist in a new level of consciousness. Some higher or wider interest arose on the person’s horizon, and through this widening of view, the insoluble problem lost its urgency. It was not solved logically in its own terms, but faded out when confronted with a new and stronger life-tendency.”
The key work in Human Element is, in a practical way as possible, getting that deeper realization in which problems that seemed impossible become doable. It rings true to me; there is no magic solution. There is no easy HBR article about the alpha guy with the right vision to make teamwork run well. It depends on the ability of individuals in a team to learn about themselves and co-workers and evolve.
