Comprehensive Leadership Assessment
"I'm a bit blown away
by my 360 degree feedback. It shows I'm weak in some critical people
leading skills. I never really understood how I come across to others
until now. If I don’t change, it could cost me big time. Not just
in not achieving my department’s goals, but in getting the assignments
I want. Who can help me learn to change?"
- VP, Financial Institution
What's in a Leader?
What are leaders really made of? Konect
Consulting offers comprehensive leadership assessment services
to get you the right information so you can quickly focus your workplace
behavior change efforts in the right direction.
We use assessment tools designed to uncover your current
leadership abilities on a variety of dimensions of human behavior at
work. Based on our initial conversations
about your concerns, we decide what to evaluate. Maybe it’s
learning more about your communication and decision-making style. Or
how your attitudes and beliefs about work are influencing your ability
to effectively supervise a person with a different attitude. Knowing
more facts about your personality, your emotional intelligence at work,
and your versatility as a leader, will provide you the road map to follow.
The assessments will help you clearly determine what skill sets to keep,
what to modify and what to sharpen.
We also assess:
• Your job requirements
• Your view of your capabilities
to meet the requirements
• Your organization’s expectations
of successful performance of your role
We will help you determine the degree of “fit” between these
three constructs. We may provide you with information from a multi-rater
feedback instrument to help discern the “gaps” and “synergies”
between your self-perceptions and the perceptions of your co-workers.
Konect Consulting provides services to the human resources
professional who oversees talent selection, development and management.
One of our reliable assessment tools is the Myers-Briggs
Type Indicator (MBTI)
of which we are extensively trained and practiced. We also use selected
measures of emotional intelligence like the EQi by Bar-Alon, the FIRO-B
and the leadership versatility index to tell more about interpersonal
style and leadership competencies.
Team Building
"People are at each other's
throats, trying to out maneuver each other in our shop. The tension
is getting to me because I'm just not a political, game playing kind
of person. I'd like to know how I can deal with this situation and still
get recognition and respect."
- Manager, Insurance Company
Negotiation and Conflict Management
Often team building services are requested when
there’s been a breakdown in communication between: individuals
in the same or across departments; you and your board; you and the manager
you thought was doing a better job; you and your erratic yet demanding
boss.
It’s difficult to have a safe, meaningful discussion
when you and others are harboring intense feelings of distrust and suspicion.
Our approach to team building
is practical and has long-term benefits.
• We assess your particular
situation and design programs and interventions that get people through
the misunderstanding and miscommunication and back to productive decision-making.
• We will teach communication
skills from basic to advanced and teach personality style differences
for the workplace.
• We will break them down into modules and then put
them all back together to create a measurable change in your
experience of working together.
Building Accountability and Improving Communication
"I haven't had much luck
with getting some of my people to be accountable for their projects
from start to finish. Somewhere along the line, they drop the ball and
expect me to pick up the pieces. I need help dealing with these kind
of folks whose work ethic is so different from mine."
- Director, Accounting Firm
Motivating Others
It is hard to effectively lead and motivate others through the process
of becoming accountable to you. You may have received feedback that
you are too forceful or, perhaps, too easy-going. Either way, you have
to deal with the consequences of delegating to someone who doesn’t
follow through. We help you learn to improve
your skills in motivating others to be accountable. Improving
your communication skills is at the heart of the process. Our goal is
to help you increase your versatility as a leader so that you choose
the optimal thing to say and say it in the right way at the right time
a greater percentage of the time with your people.
We provide services to the human resources professional
who oversees talent selection, development and management.
What Makes You Tick
"I've got an offer to
join a new company. The last eight years of pressure and stress with
my old employer has really done a number on my head. I want help to
clear out the old baggage, get some perspective and bring my best self
to the new job."
- Executive, Health Care Organization
Zero In On Your Uniqueness
We are in a tough economy. You may be currently unemployed. You may
have left a job under duress or by your choice. Looking back, you wonder
what baggage you’re carrying that could hurt your chances of successfully
getting and keeping your next leadership position. You want to take
a look backwards to explore what went wrong. You want to regain your
focus and confidence so you can present yourself as an emotionally balanced
job seeker. We offer executive coaching
assessment and services designed to help you in your process of rebuilding
your self-esteem. We provide you with feedback concerning your workplace
behaviors and experiences that will prepare you for your next place
of employment. These services complement standard outplacement
services and can be paid for from an outplacement budget by arrangement.
When the CEO Needs to Talk
"My spouse is noticing
how distant I've become, complaining that I'm too preoccupied with work
to enjoy spending time with our family. Who can I talk to about making
changes that I can sustain given the pressures I'm under?"
- Founder, Biotech Company
Adding Balance to Life
It’s lonely at the top. We
are here as a listening partner for confidential conversation about
the kinds of people problems that are crowding your mind.
You set the agenda. The assessment for these services is straightforward,
mostly involving interviewing. The bulk of our work is focused on your
talking about the challenges you face and hearing a fresh perspective
with no strings attached. The coach is not part of your company, does
not have a vested interest, nor will be impacted by what you ultimately
decide to do. Our coaching relationship remains confidential.
Many executives report that talking with a
coach helps them regain focus and balance, helps them establish or recommit
to personal priorities, and restores their zest for living. The coaching
experience helps you move forward to make tough decisions that you may
be avoiding. At Konect Consulting, we have the necessary skills, experience
and understanding to help you. That’s the clear advantage of choosing
an executive coaching firm that uses licensed psychologists as executive
coaches.
