Turning Self Awareness into Leadership Effectiveness in FinTech and Investment Management Sector
The challenge
The organization faced key challenges: Leadership Style Confusion (overlapping dominant traits), Low Awareness of blind spots, Team Friction in cross-level communication, and Growth Gaps.
Our approach
FriendsSquare designed a blended leadership intervention anchored in DISC assessments to identify profiles and behavioural patterns, including a 3-hour workshop, personalized resources, and cross-level cohorts.
- DISC Assessments: DISC insights triggered greater recognition of personal leadership styles.
- Communication Flexibility: Training encouraged leaders to adapt tone and approach for contrasting profiles.
- Reflective Exercises: Highlighted overused strengths, prompting moderation and balance.
