What Leaders Actually Achieved With TGS
How TGS Can Help You
An effective leader should thrive in stressful situations, deal well with complexity and ambiguity, seem to have little anxiety about tackling difficult challenges, and cope with internal and external volatility and uncertainty. The presence of the ‘Performance Personality' trait combinations underpins this.
However, suppose these same ‘performance’ personality traits are extreme or not contained. In that case, they can be risky and toxic, negatively impacting the four critical psychosocial risk factors—Anxiety, Stimulation, Conformity, and Ambiguity(ASCA)—and creating unhealthy work environments. This can lead to reduced morale, decreased performance, and high staff turnover.
Our research shows that leaders are born, but effective leaders are made. Effective leaders are self-aware, play to their strengths, and mitigate their weaknesses.
TGS can help you become a more effective leader by giving insight into your effective, risky, and toxic personality combinations and how you impact people and performance
As a board member, psychological health and safety (PHS) regulation compliance by managing psychosocial risk factors is vital for long-term organizational success.
Legal obligations demand strict adherence to these standards, with potential penalties and personal liability for lapses.
Ethically, PHS compliance safeguards employee well-being and enhances organizational reputation, making it more appealing to top talent. Financially, compliance reduces risks associated with fines, costly compensation claims, and productivity losses due to mental health issues. Commitment to PHS compliance is a legal and ethical responsibility and a strategic choice to protect the organization's financial stability and future success.
TGS can help you reduce potential compliance concerns by identifying potential leadership risk and toxicity and demonstrating how the leader's personality combination impacts people and performance through the four critical psychosocial risk factors— Ambiguity, Stimulation, Conformity, and Anxiety (ASCA).
The role of HR in placing the proper leader is crucial.
An effective leader will drive employee engagement, foster a positive work culture, enhance productivity and attract other top talent. Conversely, choosing an ineffective leader can lead to workplace toxicity, resulting in high employee turnover, reduced morale, and decreased performance. Such toxicity damages employees' well-being and harms the organization's reputation, making attracting and retaining top talent difficult.
Therefore, HR's role in selecting effective leaders is critical in shaping a successful, productive, and sustainable workplace environment.
TGS can help you identify potentially effective and toxic leaders as part of your recruitment or development process by providing insights into their winning and risky personality combinations and their impact on the four critical psychosocial risk factors - Anxiety, Stimulation, Conformity and Ambiguity (ASCA) which affects peoples and performance.
Recruiters are responsible for supplying suitable and thoroughly vetted candidate's for leadership positions briefed to them.
Effective leaders drive an organization's success, shaping its culture, strategy, and performance. Inadequate vetting or mismatched candidate's can result in leadership failures, leading to decreased morale, business disruption, and performance. The consequences of a wrong candidate placement are significant, impacting the reputation and bottom line of the recruitment firm and the business where the candidate is placed.
Recruiters must be able to ensure candidate's possess the qualities necessary for effective leadership.
TGS can help catch any candidate trying to game the system by detecting 99% of 'inauthentic' responses in the assessment.
