ASSESSING LEADERS/TEAM STYLES AND INTERACTIONS |
WHY UNDERSTAND BEHAVIOR?
Personality is an important aspect of ourselves, but is static.Behavior is about changing, moving and developing ourselves.
Personality can be used as an excuse not to do something - i.e., it's not in my nature.
Personality informs our behavior, but doesn't limit it.
Successful people are comfortable using a wide range of communication styles and skills.
SURVEYS + TRAINING = EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
Solutions for Corporate Growth, Inc offers assessment tools for behavioral strengths and communication styles because they provide a solid foundation on which to build better relationships and collaborative work environments. The surveys we use are from The Shutz Company - LIFOŽ and include:
LIFO (Life Orientations) Strengths Survey - understand
your own behaviors and styles, as well as your team's
Another Person Survey - understand how others view your
strengths and styles
Leadership Styles Survey - understand the unique strengths
and styles of leaders
Coaching styles - understand the unique strengths and
styles of coaches
Organizational Culture - understand how your
organization functions when things are going well, and during times of stress.
Once the participants understand the survey results, we use a variety of exercises to help leaders and teams develop new insights, skills, and strategies to enhance communication, collaboration and productivity. We use training developed by Solutions for Corporate Growth, Inc., as well as provide course workbooks from The Shutz Company.
Effective communication and leadership skills can also be improved with one-on-one coaching. At times the intentions, behavior, and impact of an executive or manager may be incongruent. We work with the individual so that thoughts, actions and impact are aligned. We back this up by continuing to use and develop the leader's strengths.

Apply new personal and professional communication strategies.
