Personality type is based on Carl Jung's theory of Psychological Type. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator and Jung Profiler are assessments that have been developed to determine your personality preferences. These enable us to understand the organization of human personalities which impact on individual styles of communicating, decision-making, relating, conflict management as well as patterns of action, attitudes, needs, values and innate aptitudes. These assessments can be used to enhance individual leadership effectiveness, develop high performance leadership teams, drive rapid effectiveness of new teams, support career management efforts and improve relationships at all levels of the organization. When completed collectively by a senior leadership team, they can provide deep insight into the dynamics of the organization and support growth and change. As well, they are valuable resources for selecting and integrating new leaders into organization by directing interview questions and onboarding activities. In addition to the assessments, Caliber offers comprehensive profiles on each of 16 the MBTI types as well as a behavioural interview guide using the MBTI through our partner, Dr. Anne Dranitsaris. Emotional Intelligence / Behavioural Competence (Baron EQ-i) Until recently, our culture has placed emphasis on certain aspects of intelligence such as logical reasoning, spatial skills, verbal skills, etc, to help predict the success of people both personally and professionally. The fact is people with remarkable IQ scores do not always succeed in life and frequently do not know how to have successful relationships with others. As a result, psychologists have recently proposed that emotional intelligence or EQ, the ability to understand emotions, is a more important predictor. Emotional intelligence is not a fixed point, but rather it is fluid and dynamic, and results from emotional teaching and a willingness to grow and develop. Emotional intelligence tends to increase through each decade of life. It's what we used to call "maturity" - how one handle one's self and other people. By focusing on personal development, people can learn to handle emotions intelligently, and in doing so increase their ability to succeed in personal and professional relationships. Emotional self-awareness is the core of emotional intelligence. People often undermine or diminish their personal or professional success through outbursts of anger, frustration or tears because of their inability to manage their emotions. The EQ-i® is an effective development tool for individuals and organizations. It can be used as a group diagnostic for teams, departments, or business units, providing an in-depth audit of the emotional strengths and development opportunities of an entire organization, or it can be used by an individual for coaching and professional development. Striving Styles™
(Developed by Dr. Anne Dranitsaris & profiled in Oprah Magazine, November 2009) Because we are so results driven in our society, we tend to confuse who we are with what we do. We refer to career or lifestyle choices when we think or talk about who we are meant to be. For example, when asked the question "Who are you meant to be?" many respond by saying "rich and famous", "an astronaut", or "a good parent". These are descriptions of roles or goals - doing rather than being statements. We tend to define ourselves from the outside in, rather than the inside out. We have come to know that humans are dynamic, development-oriented, relational beings that are naturally driven toward maturity through developing self-awareness, consciousness and acceptance. We also all have the capacity to use our striving energies to ensure that we fulfill our potential. Striving energies are innate energy centers in the brain that move us to activity and organize our behaviour toward a goal. They are observable patterns of behaviour that are easily recognized as a "Striving Style". When we use our most potent Striving Style, we are most likely to be happiest, healthiest and able to achieve our potential. The Striving Styles Assessment™ helps leaders and teams to understand underlying striving energies and to support individual and team development. It allows us to identify when leaders are not working with their preferred style, and to support the leader to realign in order to foster their own development and the achievement of their potential. These assessments are beneficial when looking at the performance, placement, succession and/or success of leaders in specific roles or organizational context. Leadership Systems Audit Tool In developing strategy, rarely do organizations pause to consider if the leadership system - the people, practices, processes involved in leading the business - can deliver on the strategy. In our experience, most organizations make incorrect assumptions about their leadership culture and its impact on strategy achievement. Organizations need a comprehensive, yet clear way to assess their leadership system and culture as it relates to their strategy. The Caliber Leadership Systems Audit is the first research based tool to provide an assessment that supports you to maximize the strategy impact of your leadership. The Audit provides senior leadership with a clear definition of the strategic requirements and their impact on leadership. Through a survey process, the actual experiences of leaders at all levels of the organization are collected. The organization's strategic readiness and culture are then analyzed based on the data and practical interventions are then defined and executed to minimize risks and leverage opportunities for strategy achievement. Organizations that work to align their leadership system with the strategic requirements of the business achieve both significant competitive advantage as well as sustainable results. 360 Feedback for Leadership Development Caliber offers a unique, double anchored 360 feedback process for supporting leadership development at all levels of the organization. The assessment is offered on-line for ease of administration and is fully customizable to each client's own leadership requirements which allows for alignment with other internal talent management practices. In addition, Caliber provides support throughout the process including feedback interpretation and development planning to ensure the achievement of the desired outcomes. Organizational Culture Indicator Culture within organizations is complex and closely linked with the organization's leadership. Increasingly, organizations are striving for alignment between their culture and their brand, as well as with the values of the organization. Caliber's Culture Indicator helps organizations to understand the drivers of their current culture, gaps between current and desired culture as well as barriers to bringing about the desired cultural change / realignment. For organization's going through significant strategic change, this tool is invaluable and provides organizations with a practical road map to navigate the complexities of cultural change. |
