The future success of an organization depends on building the next generation of leaders within the business. With the "Baby Boomer" generation approaching retirement, there will be a scarcity of senior level executives. It will not always practical to hire outside of the organization for key leadership positions because it will become cost prohibitive. Thus they need to develop from within.

In practice, most companies are successful when they blend both options into their leadership roles. This allows new ideas to mesh with current best practices. It also gives you flexibility to quickly add technical leadership if technologies change.

At Perspective Business Resources, we help design a succession planning model that fits your needs. We help identify future leaders within your current team. Then we develop leadership training programs to help them excel and grow professionally in their respective fields.

If you would like to discuss any of these services with one of our consultants, please contact us.

Profiles Performance Indicator™ (PPI)

The Profiles Performance Indicator™ is a DISC-type assessment that reveals aspects of an individual's personality that could impact their fit with their manager, coworkers and team, and their job performance. It is used primarily for motivating and coaching employees, and resolving post-hire conflict and performance issues.

The PPI specifically measures an individual's motivational intensity and behaviors related to productivity, quality of work, initiative, teamwork, problem solving, adapting to change, as well as response to conflict, stress, and frustration. The output from this assessment serves as an "operator’s manual" for an employee, which helps managers better motivate, coach, and communicate with the employee. It also helps to predict and minimize conflict among co-workers and provides crucial information to improve team selection and performance.

A powerful feature of the PPI is the Team Analysis Report designed to help managers form new teams, reduce team conflict, improve team communication, improve ability to anticipate problems, and better team leadership. It helps evaluate overall team balance, strengths and weaknesses, and team members' personality characteristics along 12 key factors: control, composure, social influence, analytical, patience, results orientation, precision, expressiveness, ambition, teamwork, positive expectancy, and quality of work.
