'Real' Insight to inform Leadership Identification and Development
As an organisation we always start with insight about an organisation’s culture and priorities. Our assessment, retention and alignment processes utilise projective and ethnographic research approaches when identifying leaders. Our insight-led approach combined with the nuanced understanding of the role requirements by our team who are all practicing professionals from the industry have resulted in our successful approach over the years.
- Research from Gallup highlights that 82% of the time, companies fail to choose the candidate with the right leadership talent, leading to poor business outcomes, disengaged employees, and increased turnover. Utilizing an insight-led approach helps mitigate this risk.
- According to the Center for Creative Leadership, 58% of managers said they never received any formal leadership training, yet those who undergo evidence-based leadership development programs are 60% more effective in driving team performance and engagement.By anchoring leadership coaching in insight, organizations foster a more personalized, goal-oriented, and business-aligned approach that leads to lasting behavioral changes and stronger leadership outcomes.
'Real' Insight can Move the Needle
The evolution of HR to incorporate People Analytics tools has dramatically changed people practices in many organisations. With this evolution there has been an emphasis on quantification of people related aspects. While extremely useful, the picture can get clearer in two ways to get to ‘real’ insight:
1. Qualitative research to get to the ‘why’ in any issue. For example in the case of DEI, when after years of trying to actively move the needle on improving inclusion when you hit a roadblock, qualitative research can help you look behind the numbers to see what’s going on inside people’s heads. Qualitative research and its various methodologies can be instrumental in behaviour change.
