‘Maximise your Leadership Performance’
Research shows that leadership style has significant impact on success. A variety of studies indicate that the strongest indicators of effectiveness are personal and interpersonal skills like empathy, and the ability to communicate and work with others. Leadership WorkStyles™ is a development assessment tool that measures work styles and attitudes that impact a leader’s ability to manage.
Assessments are first gathered from a Leadership WorkStyles™ participant and his or her co-workers, including managers, peers and direct reports in a computerised format that simplifies the rating process and ensures confidentiality.
The resulting personalised report includes clear quantitative and qualitative feedback on strengths, as well as areas for improvement, and provides focused suggestions for development that participants use to create personal development plans. Leadership WorkStyles™ helps leaders recognise their full potential.
Personalised feedback and development
Leadership WorkStyles™ compares a leader’s self-perceptions with the perceptions of his or her co-workers to address the impact of personal style on key leadership competencies, such as leadership, managing tasks, managing people, and managing conflict. Detailed and personalised developmental suggestions establish a vital link between feedback and job performance.
Attitudes and thinking styles reflect a leader’s general disposition and character traits. These human attributes have a major impact on how a leader executes the roles and responsibilities associated with managing people:
- Need for conformity
- Level of confidence
- Competitiveness
- Assertiveness
- Need for achievement
Leadership WorkStyles™ provides leaders with direct, objective feedback about how they operate and create dynamic incentives for change and improvement.
With an emphasis on accountability, achievement and effective communications, Leadership WorkStyles™ provides a solid foundation for implementing and maintaining leadership development programs.
The assessment process involves collecting and interpreting data from different perspectives, including manager, peers, direct reports, and even customers.
