Your executive team is just that: a team. What they do on a daily basis effects the entire organization and impacts employees, customers, managers, and anyone in contact with the organization. Yet, most organizations do little development of these high-functioning leaders. We at The Kullman Group believe that they too need development, re-idealization, and evaluations commensurate with their abilities. Let us engrain words like Vision, Alignment, and Execution of Vision into their vocabulary. Let’s help develop their actions to align with the team.
Leaders should be concerned with their vision becoming a reality. Through the scientific research of leaders, we work with individuals on the executive team to provide them with actionable items, and self-awareness as well as a research-validated, online assessment. The Everything DiSC Work of Leaders® Profile is a 23-page, leader-specific profile report providing detailed, context-specific feedback based on the three-step Vision, Alignment, and Execution Model and the three drivers associated with each step. Strong visuals and illustrations, including 18 behavioral continua, delve deeply into what steps leaders can take to increase the behaviors linked to the essential best practices of leadership.
Productive Conflict Profile
Managers are often faced with employees that are complaining or disgruntled. We at The Kullman Group have found that utilizing self-awareness though use of Everything DiSC ® Productive Conflict Profile gives employees an appreciation of how their style of handling conflict affects people around them. The employee learns how to “catch” themselves when going down a destructive conflict path. They also learn how to reframe a conflict situation and choose more productive behaviors as well as build a common language in the organization around appropriate conflict behavior.
Emotional Intelligence
The development of higher emotional intelligence in employees has been researched extensively. The benefits of higher emotional intelligence (Ei) and emotional quotients (Eq) lead to happier more engaged workforces that have higher retention rates. These employees are often identified earlier as future leaders and can be engaged quicker for management tracts. Using Everything DiSC® Agile EQ™, we can help employees discover the instinctive mindsets that shape their responses and interactions with others. This system gives them the self-awareness to recognize opportunities to stretch beyond what comes naturally to them and take action to become more agile in their approach to social and emotional situations.
363 for Leaders
360-degree evaluations are the mark of a truly progressive organization. How you are viewed by superiors is one thing, but what about peers and follower? Many managers and leaders have never used a 360-degree evaluation. The downfall of most of them is that the evaluation is open-ended and non-constructive statements are allowed.
That is why we at The Kullman Group utilize 363 for Leaders in order to help managers and leaders recognize the tendencies that shape their approach to leadership, based on their DiSC® style. It better helps them understand how others see them as a leader and how their own self-ratings compare. Further, it identifies which of the Eight Approaches to Effective Leadership — and the three behavioral Practices underlying each approach — are their strengths and which ones would benefit from further development. Upon review, each manager or executive is provided with personalized strategies for becoming a more effective leader based on specific rater feedback.
