Development of Executives
It is far from always possible to realise an employee’s potential and it is a challenge to push an employee from idea to action. This is often due to ineffective management. Results from an AS3 survey show that 31% of job-changers cited poor management as the main reason. While 69% of the employees commitment is directly related to the immediate manager, it is essential that the manager knows how to develop and develop their employees.
Good management requires knowing oneself as a leader. It requires that you know your employees. Identifying their talents from the Talent Test provides a deep insight into how their brain works and thus clarifies what really drives them to success. Talents Unlimited works at the cognitive level where you can uncover what pushes people into action, how they unconsciously think and act, and how to use this knowledge to ensure continuous and targeted development for employees.

When using talent, leadership development programmes can be designed to focus on increased self-insight through the talents, thus providing a self-understanding of one’s own patterns of behaviour. When a manager encounters challenges or inappropriate behaviour based on his or her own behaviour, the insight into the talents provides a number of alternative options for handling it. Additionally, it provides insight into employees and their talent mix, thereby increasing their understanding of their behaviour, drive and motivation. This gives the manager the opportunity to delegate and anticipate tasks directly, so they fit the needs of the individual employee, and ensure increased understanding and well-being. The increased self-insight will likewise give the employees more confidence in the manager. Through this, a favourable and successful collaboration will accelerate faster.

Talent- and strength-based leadership have a measurable effect on the bottom line. The best, most extraordinary executives, are those ones who manage to create the desired and optimal success for the company. These managers are able to uncover the best and most potential talents and strengths of the employees, as well as which of these must be developed in order to achieve the mentioned success. The leaders understand the importance of focusing on developing the top talents and putting together specific talents to the appropriate team roles, in order to make a team perform at an excellent level. The Talent Test gives you the necessary insight, and various studies show that talent- and strength-based leadership significantly increase employee engagement.
