SDI
The Strength Deployment Inventory is a validated inventory of self-discovery. Wherever people have relationships the SDI can add awareness, understanding and increase effectiveness of their behaviour, enabling people to contribute and be valued in a variety of life situations.
The SDI will offer you the individual a greater insight into:-
- What motivates you and thus why you behave the way you do?
- The strengths you bring to roles and relationships
- What causes inner conflict for you?
- Your preferred way of dealing with interpersonal conflict
Belbin Team Roles Questionnaire
The Belbin Team Roles questionnaire helps individuals to understand the role that they play in a team.
By understanding the roles within a particular team, you can develop your strengths and manage your weaknesses as a team member.
The Belbin model can help your team to help ensure that necessary team roles are covered, and that potential behavioural tensions or weaknesses among the team member are addressed.
The online assessment includes a 360 degree feedback from observers as well as the individual’s own evaluation of their behaviour.
DISC
DISC is an acronym for:
- Dominance – relating to control, power and assertiveness
- Influence – relating to social situations and communication
- Steadiness– relating to patience, persistence, and thoughtfulness
- Conscientiousness– relating to structure and organisation
The D.I.S.C. personality report profiles four primary behavioural styles, each with a very distinct and predictable pattern of observable behaviour.
Understanding behavioural styles benefits personal and professional relationships by improving communication skills and reducing conflict.
It helps individuals and teams to better understand what motivates people and recognise how to effectively deal with others.
Through our training providers, SailTime are ideally positioned to offer a wide range of training and development packages to organisations looking to develop their teams.
Below are a few of the questionaires and mechanisms that can be incorporated into a training and development programme with SailTime. Blend this with the known benefits of working together on a yacht, highly experienced facilitators and a detailed analysis post event and you have a programme that will deliver results time and again.
FIRO-B
The FIRO-B instrument is a personality questionnaire focusing on how individuals behave towards others, and how they expect others to behave towards them.
Using a simple model of interpersonal relationship styles, the FIRO-B tool can reveal hidden mismatches between wanted and expressed behaviour, offering profound insights that touch at the heart of an individual's sense of who they are.
This tool looks at three interpersonal 'need areas', identifying sources of tension within an individual's profile. Ambiguities in these areas can be the reason behind complex and difficult relationship issues, so when other tools have not been effective, the FIRO-B instrument is often the answer.
Myers Briggs
MBTI is a personality questionnaire that looks at how a person perceives the world and how they prefer to interact with others. The MBTI framework helps people improve their working and personal relationships in a positive and constructive way.
It is useful to individuals as the MBTI questionnaire clarifies differences between people - differences that can be the cause of misunderstandings and communication difficulties. The information can help identify both strengths and potential areas for growth, and can also help people understand and appreciate those who differ from them.
It can also be used with teams in a variety of ways to improve team and individual performance for example to improve their working methods and relationships, often considering effective communication
INSIGHTS
The Insight Inventory recognises that people’s behaviour may change from one place to another based on role expectations, stress, and job demands. So, to give participants a more accurate, well-rounded assessment of their behavioural styles, it provides two profiles – one of their work style (behaviour at work) and another of their personal style (behaviour at home).
Participants will see how their behaviour may change from one setting to another. This helps them learn how to "flex" their style to adapt to different situations and communicate with others in a way which solves problems and avoids conflict.
The INSIGHT Inventory measures behavioural preferences on four traits:
A) Getting Your Way (Indirect or Direct) - How you express your thoughts and opinions.
B) Responding to Others (Reserved or Outgoing) - How you approach and respond to others.
C) Pacing Activity (Urgent or Steady) - The speed at which you make decisions and take action.
D) Dealing with Details (Unstructured or Precise) - How you structure time and organise tasks.
