LEADERSHIP Profilers

What are Leadership Profilers?

Each Leadership Profiler gives you an individual report reflecting your leadership orientations. Awareness is the starting point of developing leadership capabilities by heightening awareness of your orientations. Highlighted are behaviours that are ‘default’ settings, those you have ‘limited’ access to and those you have ‘flexibility’ to use as contextually required. Profilers cannot predict or guarantee specific outcomes.

The first step in leadership
development is

SELF-AWARENESS

SELF-CONTROL

helps us to release or
restrain our thought,
emotions & actions
depending upon its
appropriateness
to a context.

Self-control &
self-management
are not possible
until we gain
insights into

“WHO AM I”

Development is
the process of
gaining the
insight on
“Who am I” &
working towards

“Who I want
to be”

Any development
is rooted on gaining
awareness on
who we are &
gaining insights on

why we do
what we do &
how we do.

Leadership is
a social skill.

Socially aware people
shape the thought,
emotions & actions of
others better. The key to
social-awareness is
self-awareness.

At leadership centre we refer to the “Who am I “ as “Orientations”. The Orientations which have direct impact on our leadership, we call it “Leadership Orientations”. We have through our research identified the following orientations as “Leadership Orientations”.

Trust

Gain awareness of the drivers of trust that help you evoke trust from others.

Closure

Know more about your ability to balance your thought v/s action and achieve the desired results.

Power

Gain awareness about your dominant power with which you engage with the world.

Thinking

Become aware of your dominant thinking style using which you acquire and structure information.

Interpersonal Dynamics

Gain insights about your interpersonal orientation skills to help you manage people better.

Ambition

Become aware of your orientation to ambition and how others experience it.

Risk Appetite

Gain awareness about your dominant power with which you engage with the world.

Development

Gain awareness about your orientation towards self-learning and nurturance of team.

Two or more leadership orientations lead to leadership abilities/competencies. eg. A combination of Thinking, Risk Appetite and Ambition orientations becomes the leadership ability/competency of Decision Making. A combination of Power, Ambition, Trust and Interpersonal/Political orientations become the leadership ability/competency of collaboration. Thus awareness of your leadership orientations is the key to developing various leadership abilities/competencies.This leads to what we at Leadership Centre refer to as “Behaviour toning”. This is similar to “Muscle toning”. Behaviour toning results in self-control leading to mastery over “Release” or “Restraint” of specific behaviours associated with any Leadership Orientation.

The classical way by which people gain this awareness is through what is popularly called as psychometry or personality tests. Most of the available psychometry and personality test tools are meta and complex to comprehend without expert assistance. They are also unfriendly to decide on what should I work on and how to tone our orientations. We at leadership centre have designed self-awareness tools which are simple. We call it “Leadership Orientation Profilers”. Each of our leadership orientation profiler helps you to gain awareness on one dimension of who you are and gain insights on how it impacts your leadership abilities in a chosen context and work towards developing it the way you choose to.

Our leadership orientation profiler reports are simple and easy to read. They help you become aware, gain insights and discover your leadership abilities/competencies. We also help you understand the report by explaining how to understand it through a webcast. All the Leadership Orientation Profilers (LOP) have been extensively researched and tested for construct validity and reliability, across multiple industries and leadership levels.
