Breakthrough Leadership: Why Knowing Yourself is the Best Strategy Now…

Harvard Business Review

 

 


 

 

 

 

What can we learn from instruments?

How we are perceived by our colleagues: 360 degree instruments like – Profilor™, Benchmarks™, Executive Dimensions™, Executive Success Profile™, Campbell Leadership Index®, Leadership Practices Inventory™

How we make decisions and organize and energize ourselves, how we learn: Personality profiles like – Myers BriggsType Indicator™ or Workplace Big Five™

How we prefer to relate to others and what we need from others; what motivates us: Interpersonal measures like – FIRO-B

How we manage conflict: Strength Deployment Inventory, The Conflict Lens, Conflict Dynamics Survey, or Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode

How the organization is perceived by it’s employees: Job satisfaction questionnaires and organizational surveys like - Campbell Organizational Survey™

How our Interpersonal Role and Intrapersonal Character traits compare to other high performing leaders: Psychological profiles like - California Psychological Inventory

(Many of these instruments are available in other languages.)

 

 

 

The purpose of using assessment instruments is to focus our attention and give us a vocabulary to have a discussion. Being the owner of our own information we can use it to know ourselves better and make more conscious choices in our behavior and impact.
