LEADERSHIP TESTS

 

When it comes to understanding how a candidate or employee will interact with people and approach the job, there is no better online employment assessment than DISC profile testing. In fact, many managers refer to these behavioral assessments as an “employee user’s manual.” In each DISC report, the best ways to communicate, manage, and coach an employee are included. DISC really is the best behavioral assessment for employees.

DISC is one of the world’s most popular assessments to identify and develop leadership style. Based on the work of William Moulton Marston, DISC assesses how a supervisor or manager approaches Problems, People, Pace and Procedures. The Proception2 DISC Profile takes the DISC Profile one step further by assessing both an individual’s primary style (“hard-wired” behavior) and adapted style (how one sees him/her-self to the work environment.) Each Proception2 profile also includes a “style map,” comparing the individual’s style to other team members and identifying sources of behavioral agreement and conflict.

The 4 areas assessed using Proception2 DISC are:

  • Dominance = Energy toward solving roblems
  • Influence = Energy toward influencing people
  • Steadiness = Energy toward maintaining a steady pace
  • Conscientiousness = Energy toward complying with procedures and rules

The Proception2 DISC Profile predicts

  • How a candidate or employee prefer to relate with others
  • How a candidate or employee prefers to approach work
  • How a candidate or employee leads others
  • How a candidate or employee fits on team

CASE STUDIES

  • A small property and casual insurance company is faced with the retirement of its long term CEO. Their search for a successor included two internal candidates and one external one. The search committee wanted to ensure a fair and objective leadership test since at least one or both internal candidates might be passed over. We help them by identifying leadership skills that their industry needs and our tests find a candidate that can demonstrate those leadership skills in the workplace.
  • The board of directors (BOD) of a rural electric cooperative is tasked with finding a replacement for its 30+ plus years tenured CEO. Their location, small size, and “unique” culture set requirements that only a few candidates might meet. Company politics requires them to open up the opportunity and 12 candidates apply including several internal candidates, who are poor fits. The BOD  wants to ensure a fair and objective process to narrow down the field to the 3 most qualified candidates and then assist them in interviewing and selecting the right leader.
  • A faith-based assisted living and retirement center seeks a replacement for a CEO who was recently terminated. The BOD does not want to make another mistake. They have selected an interim CEO but before making a permanent job offer, they want to assess the potential and cultural fit.
