DEVELOPMENT TOOLS


Self-exploration in an organisational context can help executives with one of the more difficult leadership tasks they may ever face: changing themselves.

 

A Systemic-Psychodynamic Approach to Leadership Feedback

360° leadership development tools can be the beginning of an introspective journey and set into motion honest self-evaluation and changes in behaviour. Feedback from different stakeholders provide a useful way for leaders to compare their self-perceptions with the observations of colleagues or others who know them well. They help executives make connections between patterns of conflict at work and interpersonal issues in their private lives.

KDVI offers a suite of innovative psychometrically validated 360° feedback instruments targeting global business executives. Our instruments intervene at three levels. Used together, they provide a systematic approach to assessing leadership and organisational effectiveness.

  • Individual: To provide insights for a constructive dialogue about the way a leader functions and implicit and explicit behaviours that need further development.
  • Team: To provide structure for team development initiatives, by outlining the qualities, skills and competencies that leaders must have to be effective in teams, the roles they play and the way various roles complement or work against each other.
  • Organisational: To provide guidance for strategic discussions that centre around corporate culture and to align values and behaviours to business strategy.

 

Attend KDVI's online "GELM Certification" to gain an understanding of the dimensions, design and validation of the tool and practise how to adminster the GELM and interpret the feedback report. If you are interested in better understanding organisational culture and change, we are running a virtual masterclass on the Organisational Culture Audit (OCA).
