Learning about yourself and how to work well with others

Leaders need to understand themselves first. What are my natural strengths? My values? My weaknesses or limitations? And then they need to understand how they impact others. How do others perceive me? What is it like to report to me? Team with me? Communicate with me?

Assessments are a powerful way to build your puzzle of self awareness and impact on others. Diane Bennett is a certified expert in the following assessment tools.

The Hogan Series The Hogan series is a powerful set of assessments invaluable for leader development. It includes: POTENTIAL The Potential Report outlines an individual’s day-to-day leadership style, including behavioral descriptions, leadership competencies, and comprehensive development recommendations. CHALLENGE The Challenge Report describes a leader’s characteristic way of interpreting the world and treating subordinates while under stress and pressure. The Challenge Report predicts career- derailing behaviors that interfere with the ability to build a cohesive and high-performing team – the hallmark of effective leadership. VALUES The Values Report explores a person’s core values and goals that ultimately drive a leader’s behavior, aspirations and expectations about life. What a person values determines how he/she will lead; this determines the kind of environment a leader will create and the sort of organizational culture the person will do their best work. COACHING The Coaching Report is a self-guided, comprehensive development planning tool for individual leadership development. It integrates the information from the Potential, Challenge, and Values reports into a five-step planning process. By completing this process, a leader produces a powerful, personal development plan designed to foster professional growth.
