The future of leadership is here—personalized, effective, and designed for today’s workplace challenges.
Forget the traditional idea of leadership. Meet the Leadership Role Compass
Being a manager has always been challenging. From juggling team dynamics to meeting company goals, it’s a job that requires constant adjustment. But traditional leadership surveys don’t always capture the full picture. They focus too much on skills and competencies, missing out on the unique relationship between a manager and their team. They’re often based on a single idea of what leadership should look like.
Effectory’s Leadership Role Compass changes that. Launching in November 2024, this tool helps your managers understand how their teams really experience their leadership and provides practical steps for improvement. It doesn’t just offer a one-size-fits-all solution, but considers the individuality of each leader, the dynamics of their team, and the unique context of the organization.
The changing face of leadership
Leadership expectations have shifted. Employees today expect involvement and collaboration, and the old top-down management style no longer works. Successful leadership must be flexible and tailored to the specific manager, their team, and their business.
Traditional 360 leadership surveys often miss this nuance. They focus on outdated skillsets and competencies and fail to consider the manager’s individuality or the team’s unique needs.
The Leadership Role Compass goes beyond traditional methods, focusing on the relationship between the manager and their team. It helps managers discover which leadership role they naturally fit into and how they can adapt to their team’s expectations.
Developed with Prof. Dr. Armin Trost, a leading expert in HR and organizational psychology, this tool is backed by modern research and provides managers with reliable insights for growth.
How the Leadership Role Compass works
At the core of the Leadership Role Compass is self-reflection and team feedback. The process is simple, yet powerful. Here’s how it works:
- Self-reflection
Managers start by reflecting on their own idea of leadership. The tool helps them identify which of the four distinct leadership roles they embody: Boss, Coach, Partner, or Enabler.
No one role is better than the others. Each has its strengths. The key is knowing which role your managers naturally adopt and learning when to adjust based on their team’s needs.
- Team feedback
Self-reflection is only part of the picture. The Leadership Role Compass collects anonymous feedback from the manager’s team, offering a clearer understanding of how their leadership is perceived. This feedback reveals any gaps between the manager’s behavior as a leader and the team’s needs, opening the door to stronger communication and more meaningful relationships.
- Alignment and improvement
With this feedback in hand, managers can make tailored adjustments to their leadership approach. By bridging the gap between how they see themselves and how their teams experience their leadership, managers can build trust, improve communication, and create more engaged, motivated teams.
The Leadership Role Compass equips managers with the tools to continuously improve, making leadership a practice that evolves with real-time feedback.
