I have found SDI (Strengths Deployment Inventory) to be a really
valuable tool in leadership development, despite my being a skeptical
curmudgeon about most of these workplace psychometric tools.
What
convinced me was partly personal - I felt it offered valuable insight
into my own self (not a pretty sight) - but also because of the impact
I've seen it have within the training room. I've used it mainly for
leadership development, so that's my main experience, and I've seen many
people (not everyone) find it really useful in not only raising
self-awareness, but more importantly giving them a roadmap for strengths
development that remains true to their authentic self.
In the
podcast Simon Gallon talks through the basic theory and its wider
application within L&D, in particular in teambuilding and leadership
development activities.
It's another long one, but it's good stuff. |
