Assessments
Psychometric Assessments can be used either to complement a leadership development process or in recruitment and selection. They provide a valid and reliable framework for an individual to understand their personality preferences and the behaviours that typically flow from this.
In our experience, when an individual starts to have a more accurate understanding of their own personality, behaviour and likely competency profile, it opens them up to a number of benefits.
Benefits to assessing:
-
Actively participating in personal development opportunities
-
Receiving feedback from colleagues more positively
-
Being increasingly aware of and respecting the diverse perspectives and skills of their colleagues
-
Fully exploiting the benefits of their strengths
The above changes usually lead to significant benefits in the areas of people management, team working, employee engagement and interpersonal relationships; all of which are key drivers of organisational success.
Some of the more sophisticated tools are able to provide a measure against management and leadership competencies. We are able to administer, score, interpret and feedback the results of these assessments.
