The first step in working with your organization is to capture current ‘snapshot’ of your team member’s leadership skills. Specific assessment tools have been carefully tested and selected for the various levels.

We use the same tools for team development and individual development so you are getting additional value for your investment in assessment when you use them for both applications.  These assessments will be used as the basis for your tailored team effectiveness coaching and workshops.

For Personality Character  or type assessment we’ve found the Enneagram to be most effective for our purposes.    For team development, the Enneagram assessment is used to profile the individual team members and create a composite score.  Individual team members understand how they fit within the team and also what role they play with regard to team and project success.  This can be very valuable for individual development as well as team alignment. 

For Developmental Level we use the SCTi-MAP.   This tool is currently the most rigorously validated, reliable and advanced assessment tool to assess adult leadership developmental.  The MAP results are consolidated to reflect the team developmental level and recommendations about team development may be provided.  These will connect with team effectiveness as well as culture. 

For Leadership Behavioral Competencies we use The Leadership Circle.   The Leadership Circle Profile (TLCP) is a true breakthrough among 360 degree profiles. It is the first to connect a well researched battery of competencies with the deep motivations and underlying habits of thought. It reveals the relationship between patterns of action and the internal assumptions that drive behavior.  When TLCP is administered to an intact team, we create a team profile that allows individuals to better understand his or her strengths and weaknesses as they relate to the team.  This can be helpful in team alignment and individual development.
