Leadership Development

Integro helps leaders around the world bring organizational vision into reality. In addition to some outstanding development processes and systems, Integro provides several highly effective tools that can help leaders focus on key areas of human performance:

Strategic Alignment Survey™

The Strategic Alignment Survey™ (SAS) is an on line survey product that provides a “measuring stick” for the essentials of performance effectiveness. Not a satisfaction survey, this assessment measures employees’ perception of the work environment also known as organizational culture:

  • What is the level of trust in your organization?
  • How well are Purpose, Values and Vision and Goals communicated to your staff?
  • Are staff aligned (“on board”) with these critical performance factors?
  • How do employees perceive the behaviors of their co-workers?
  • What values are most important to the staff?

The survey includes international benchmarks for each section. The Strategic Alignment Survey™ is essential to helping to understand and improve your organizational culture.

Team Alignment Questionnaire™

The Team Alignment Questionnaire is an internet based survey that measures the key elements of team effectiveness. For 25 years, Integro has utilized the Team Alignment Questionnaire™ (TAQ) to measure two key areas that have an impact on employee alignment and engagement:

Group Trust Level Report

The degree to which group members practice trust building behaviors

Group Alignment Report

The degree to which group members are aligned with the organization’s Purpose, Values, Vision, Goals, Procedures and Roles.

Why measure these two areas?

Team alignment is critical! When employees are not aligned with the organization’s goals and strategies, the right work does not get done… or it does not get done right.

When a team feels connected to the purpose and vision of the organization, they have a clear understanding of how important the products and services you provide are and also see a clear connection between what they do and the success of your organization in fulfilling its purpose.

As a result, aligned teams see their work as meaningful.  When there is a high level of trust throughout the organization:

  • Expectations are clear, disagreements are discussed and resolved
  • Information is exchanged freely, feelings and opinions are openly discussed and people do not have hidden agendas
  • Differences are valued, employees feel respected for their contribution, and have input into how the organization can be more successful
  • People keep their commitments, strive for excellence in everything they do, and can count on each other for support

This is a place where people want to work… a workplace based on trust and personal responsibility.

Leadership Development Assessment (360)

The Leadership Development Assessment (LDA) is an internet based 360 degree measurement of the competencies of effective leaders. It consists of 3 general areas of competence:

  • Managing Self
  • Managing the Environment
  • Building Trust

Within these three areas, the assessment measures 26 specific elements of competence. The performance feedback in these areas of leadership competence are obtained from multiple persons representing one of 5 different viewpoints (Self, Manager, Peers, Direct Reports and Internal Customers). The confidential responses are presented graphically, in text and include narrative “development notes”.

The LDA is an excellent tool for coaching and development and is particularly helpful in succession planning efforts.

Testimonials

"In early 2005 after 10 years as the President of Consolidated Electrical Contractors (CEC) I felt like I was in a trap. As an accountant I was frustrated that sales were growing at a rapid pace but profitability was not. In June of 2005 Alan joined our team as an external coach. He helped us to move forward with a restructuring of our organization to make us more effective (not a downsizing). With his facilitation and support we were able to begin to leverage our individual talents. We transitioned from an operating model that was a mile wide and an inch deep to an inch wide and a mile deep. In the process we discovered that organizational structure wasn’t our only problem. Our management team was as a group of highly paid doers and supervisors. Al helped us to learn to become effective managers and leaders. There were many stages to the process and it took over 12 months to transform our company. Al was an invaluable asset to us throughout this transformation. He worked with us as individuals and as a team. After two years of difficult economic times many contractors have been force out of business. CEC is still standing. I am certain that without the changes we made and Al’s support we would not be here today. We consider Al a valued partner."
