Introducing Vector

Vector is a process that connects the leader with the key aspects of working life that determine important business level outcomes. Vector helps leaders to flex their natural style based on feedback from their workgroup about the kind of environment that they are working in.

In order to get a Vector report, the leader completes Leadership Impact and the members of his/her workgroup complete ASSET.

Leadership Impact is a personality-based assessment of the leader, which shows his/her likely impact on the workgroup. Leadership Impact reports on the leader’s natural style in terms of the balance she/he is likely to strike between challenging people and supporting them. It focuses on leadership strengths and highlights the risks of overusing strengths without flexing his/her approach. The report is structured around six key areas that a leader must impact positively to ensure that their people feel motivated, energised, resilient and above all, deliver high performance.

ASSET is a short questionnaire that the leader’s workgroup completes. It measures the workgroup’s perception of the workplace in terms of what is blocking and enabling productivity and performance. It provides a real ‘view from the floor’ based on an established model of the factors that impact performance at work.

The Vector process brings together the results from Leadership Impact with those from ASSET. It provides a common framework to report on the leader’s likely impact and the key situational factors that drive performance and well-being. Vector provides insight for leaders who can sometimes become disconnected from their organisations and opens up a process of personal development that can deliver benefits for the leader and the workgroup alike. The combined results from the two assessments provide a powerful process for developing leaders and workgroups to bring about measurable performance improvements in both.
