B42 Tools I Find Useful - 5. Predictive Index

 Tools I Find Useful - 5. Predictive Index

A tool which i believe is grossly underutilised by organisations in India .

While there are multiple uses, I find it personally useful to understand
1)The behavioral changes a person is desirous of making ( Either driven by an intrinsic desire or an external expectation )
2) The degree of change that a person is attempting to make from his basic personality
3) The amount of energy and effort that is required to make the change
4) The probability of succesful change

Thankyou Nandlal Narayanan for training and apprenticing me with you on this tool in 2012 and for the clients including #axisbank #hsil #avendus who have given me the opportunity to impact using this skill.

B41 Tools I find Useful - 4. MBTI To Appreciate Differences

 The MBTI has its fair share of critics .

I however find it to be a very effective tool in helping people understand and appreciate differences .

I use it in my work on "Conflicts " especially among co owners and people who work closely with each other , to prevent differences from escalating to conflicts.

People become more appreciative and accomodative when they understand and appreciate how they fundamentally differ along the four dichotemies that the MBTI is based on

The way they direct and recieve their energy
The way a person takes in information
The way a person decides and comes to conclusion
The way they approach the outside world

B40 "Maybe - A powerful word to overcome fears"

Many of us fail to realise what we are truly capable of professionally because of our fears.

We desire things but are held back by our fears.

I am learning that the only way to realising what we desire is to go forth and take the first step in doing what we fear, while fully being cognizant of all the voices that play in our heads.

For me it’s currently stepping forward and asking directly to people whom I want to work with.

For you it might be accepting to lead a seemingly tricky project in a domain/industry that you have never worked in.

Or might be asking for the fees /salary that you think is commensurate with the value that you add.

No doubt it still requires an equal measure of thought, preparation and loads of action to accomplish the larger goals you have set.

Telling yourself that “Maybe the fears and voices are not necessarily true “ helps you take that first step.

It’s been working for me!
