Extended DISC highlights how to keep high flyers on track
With up to a third of high flying employees experiencing a period of sustained performance problems (Jennie Harrison, People Management magazine 28th Sept 2006), Extended DISC UK highlights the importance of managing performance of high flying executives.
Jennie Harrison explains that “in most cases, problems are not down to a job holders lack of practical or intellectual abilty. Causes include the individuals behavioural tendancies, a lack of self awareness or personal “blind spots” as well as changing professional circumstances.” (Jennie Harrison, People Management magazine 28th Sept 2006)
Extended DISC Personal analysis has been used by top executives throughout the world to increase self awareness and enhance development. The personal analysis highlights both natural and work based tendancies and proves a very good indicator of possible problems as explained by Jennie Harrison as a lack of or extreme preference for any of the traits generally seen as important contributors to success such as extraversion, sociability, dominance and diplomacy (Jennie Harrison, People Management magazine 28th Sept 2006).
The Extended DISC 360 degree feedback tool is also an excellent indicator of a managers behaviour. This gives multiple perspectives on the behaviour of a manager and can be an excellent way of highlighting performance issues to a manager. The online system is anonymous so allows team members to give completely honest feedback on the behaviours of their manager.
