Talent Identification
Being able to get the best executive for your organization the first time is of prime importance. Likewise, when faced with downsizing, ensuring the best people remain in place is also crucial to the overall success of the business
Built around scientific research into workplace personality, Dr. Bishop uses competency based assessment tools to give you insight into the talent you are hiring far beyond what interviews and experience can tell you. The assessment results will provide you with insight into a candidate's thinking process, problem solving, emotional intelligence, leadership, ability to work with others and overall style of work.
Emotional Intelligence
Research shows that a person’s Emotional Intelligence is a better predictor of future success than traditional methods like grade point average, intelligence quotient (I.Q.) and standardized test scores. Social and emotional abilities are four times more important than I.Q. alone in determining professional success. 75% of careers are derailed for reasons related to emotional competency:- Inability to handle interpersonal problems
- Unsatisfactory team leadership during times of difficulty or conflict
- Inability to adapt to change or elicit trust
Dr. Bishop uses psychological based tests of Emotional Intelligence to look at issues which may impact the employee's ability to function well within a particular organization. As a general rule, an Emotional Intelligence test will not ask the most obvious and direct questions with regard to one's emotions and behavioral responses to specific events. Instead, the test will provide a series of questions regarding self assessment and scenario outcomes and perceptions, asking the employment candidate to provide the answer which best fit a description of their own personality and belief system.
