Executive
Assessment, Coaching and Counselling
Leadership style, management abilities and interpersonal effectiveness
are the keys to executive success. Sayer & Associates
uses a wide range of professional and current assessment methodologies
and materials to assess the "fit" between executives
and their work situations. This may include the use of standardized
assessment tools, planning methodologies, structured coaching
or psychological counselling. The major options in this process
are:
- Assessment
- Career
Planning
- Coaching
- Counselling
Leadership
Development
Functional knowledge and skills are important early
in a career but are not sufficient to be truly successful
in leading and motivating others. A practical explanation
of the "intuition" practiced by great leaders,
is that they understand the psychology of individuals (including
themselves) and of leading large teams. They integrate this
knowledge into their daily decision-making and behaviour
in a seamless manner that belies the complexity of such
a task. Dr. Sayer has the credentials – but more importantly
– the pragmatism earned through many years of experience
to assess and teach these leadership skills in a manner
that is insightful yet practical. The major options in this
area are:
- 360º
Reviews
- Team
Development
- Leadership
Learning and Facilitation
Employee
Surveys
Retention and productivity of employees have serious
bottom line consequences for any organization. Employee
surveys can uncover the primary reasons for turnover, unrest,
and general malaise or low productivity. However, the surveys
have to be planned and written well in order to produce
information that can be used effectively. The major options
in this area are:
- Employee
Satisfaction or Climate Surveys
- Corporate
Culture and Values Surveys
- Exit
Interviews and Surveys
Career
Development and Planning
Dr. Sayer is an acknowledged expert in the assessment
and development of individuals and groups for career development,
renewal and management. An effective model of creative career
assessment and planning has been developed from over 20
years of study, research and practice in career and job
satisfaction. The major options in this area are:
- Individual
assessment and counselling
- Career
Planning sessions for employee groups
- Career
Transition and Relocation
Organizational
Development
Organizational Development is concerned with helping
organizations understand and manage the changes needed to
become increasingly more effective in terms of selection,
development and management of employees. Sayer & Associates
helps clients to understand, and stay ahead of, changes
in people’s engagement in their work. This involves
understanding the impact of demographics, generational viewpoints
and shifts in human outlook due to political and economic
factors. The major options in this area are:
- Facilitation
of strategic planning and change management sessions
- Identification
and effective use of Core Competencies or Behavior Profiling
- Evaluation
and development of selection, promotion and development
systems
Corporate
Culture Reviews
Corporate Culture is the sometimes invisible yet
effective system of communicating expected behaviour of
employees or "How we do things around here". It
is important to read corporate culture and determine the
causes of both positive and limiting mindsets in employee
groups before and during planned changes. Many mergers and
acquisitions have failed because due diligence has not included
an evaluation of culture and plans to be proactive in integrating
these cultures. The major options in this area are:
- Corporate
Culture Assessment
- Design
and Facilitation of Culture Change workshops
