profiling & organisational assessments
Effective profiling is a great tool for providing feedback on performance, which encourages individuals, teams and organisations to deal with reality - not subjective perceptions of it.
Experiential Training & Coaching (ETC) uses a selection of assessments that have proven their effectiveness for ETC and our clients. All produce highly valid and reliable data; all of the instruments have international databases for benchmarking purposes.
At ETC, we have developed and utilised our own Team Alchemy Survey to assess and measure team performance. Since 2001 we have built a team database with thousands of individual assessments of hundreds of teams on six elements of team performance and five phases of the team life cycle. The survey provides a benchmark of both internal teamwork and external collaboration by the team with key stakeholders outside the core team. The survey is a very effective instrument for tracking team performance over time, and provides excellent diagnosis of where to focus team improvement initiatives at any particular phase in the team life cycle. The Team Alchemy Survey is available online via this website for registered clients

extraordinary leadership
This US-based Leadership 360° assessment instrument, developed by the Zenger-Folkman organisation, benchmarks personal leadership performance against an international database of over 25,000 leaders. It is based on a large data base of empirical studies of leadership.
The model has five dimensions: Character, Personal Capability, Focus on Results, Interpersonal Skills, and Leading Change. Each dimension has a number of distinguishing competencies, and individual behaviours within each competence area. Feedback is obtained from identified groups of observers - your boss, team members, co-workers and 'others' such as customers and suppliers.
The Extraordinary Leadership model and framework is very effective with senior and middle managers and is an exceptionally good measure of all-round leadership performance. It is a great tool for leadership development .
