Case Study
Building teams through psychometric profiling
Insight
The team was exhausted after changes of personnel and strategic challenges facing the school. Some individuals were showing signs of stress, resulting in friction in the team and short-term pressure on team members.
Solution
We were recommended to the Head by another school who believed we could help develop leadership. The Head was particularly keen to use Emergenetics as a tool to help people understand each other’s preferences and most effective ways of working.
Each team member completed their personal Emergenetics profile, helping them understand their own preferred styles. With this we facilitated a fun and engaging workshop for the SLT, using these profiles to identify bias within the team and the best ways for members to influence others.
Outcome
The impact on the team of this workshop was immediate. Right away team members had a framework with which they could express their own and their team’s preferences. Using this, they re-shaped the school’s strategic plan to communicate better to parents and staff with different preferences. This work has had a positive long-term affect on the wellbeing and strategic impact of the lead team and remains a reference point to this day.
