Predictive Index

PI allows you to understand what drives workplace behaviors so that you can ensure alignment, drive your team’s success, and achieve your business objectives faster.

The ability to work effectively with other people is the key to every leader and manager’s success. This critical success factor is often overlooked however, taking a back-seat to common managerial training on topics such as financial management, policies/procedures, or tactical elements of specific jobs.

By definition, effective leadership and management require trusting relationships with other people. This is accomplished when leaders and managers can first show that they care about the well-being and success of those they are leading.  Before the management of metrics and job-specific KPI’s, it’s about developing relationships first, which drastically simplifies the process of influencing behaviors. 

Transforming Leadership’s Intentional Leader-Manager Workshop is a one day event designed to help leaders scale high performance throughout their team and overall organization through implementing four leadership and management models.

The Intentional Leader-Manager workshop is for leaders with one or more direct reports and includes interactive topics such as:​

  • What makes a good leader-manager
  • How to develop trust with your direct reports
  • How to connect with those you lead
  • Effective methods of encouragement
  • How to become an internal coach through collaboration
  • The importance of properly delegating
  • Implementation plan and guidelines

 

Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is defined as “a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way.”

While emotional intelligence isn’t the sole predictor of human performance and development potential, it is proven to be a key indicator in these areas. Emotional intelligence is also not a static factor — to the contrary, one’s emotional intelligence can change over time and can be developed in targeted areas.
