And fired for our behaviors

This webinar hones in on potential barriers that may get in the way of your career plans and goals. Significantly, individuals can receive an “Early-Warning” of the skills, behaviors, and mindsets needed at the next level. This applies to:
- Individual Contributors – to consider the skills needed in supervisory or management roles.
- Managers – to transition from the technical and tactical level to the strategic level.
- High-potential leaders – to zero in on where they could potentially struggle.
The Career Roadblocks Finder has been developed from a different perspective from other tools (where the focus is on strengths). The Career Roadblocks Finder focuses on where we are most likely to fail (at achieving promotions or realizing other career opportunities).
The Career Roadblocks Finder is a scientifically sound, research-based tool. The tool conforms with the highest ethical standards and best practices. The result is that the Career Roadblocks Finder, helps pinpoints specific, targeted behaviors that can severely limit leader and manager effectiveness.
Through careful development, researchers have identified personal traits and skills that differentiate successful leaders from derailed leaders – including:
- Diversity of Experience
- Interpersonal Skills
- Emotional Stability & Composure
- Integrity
- Handling Mistakes
- Technical & Cognitive Skills
The Career Roadblocks Finder potentially helps leaders-managers excel at using their talents and skills – by identifying and removing these limiting behaviors, or “DERAILERS.”
The webinar offers each learner a chance to consider The SIGNALS of CAREER DERAILMENT and what this can mean for them. These signals include:
Loss of position, demotion, or involuntary reassignment.
The individual is competent in the role, but displays behaviors that create “static”:
- Perceived as lacking patience.
- Being ineffective with teams.
- Lacking in political savvy.
- Problem behaviors that are knowable-manageable-correctable become a huge barrier to further promotions – IF ignored early in a career.
The webinar further helps learners understand and evaluate 3 levels of behavior that are can be affecting careers:
DERAILER – Behaviors that can affect promotions or career advancement.
STALLER – Behaviors that may be a problem at times.
ACCELERATOR – Behaviors that demonstrate you are performing well
The BOTTOM LINE: is that learners can know what behaviors to ACCELERATE – and what behaviors can cause PROBLEMS.
Attendees will learn:
- How to evaluate 3 levels of behavior that can affect your career.
- The signals of career derailment, and what this can mean for you.
- How career problems can arise whether you are an Individual Contributor, a High-Potential Manager, or a Leader.
