The success of individuals and teams is determined by all their personality traits, i.e. comfort zones, &#8220;derailment&#8221; factors and values.<\/p>\n<p>Our approach consists of measuring the leadership span of each leadership profile, that is to say a person&#8217;s ability to incorporate seemingly contradictory behaviours into their management style. For example, executives who are particularly effective in the field of strategic direction know how to be both disruptive and pragmatic at the same time, sometimes even in the same meeting. They will push their teams to dream big and overcome all obstacles while at the same time assuring them that their ideas can be implemented.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s most interesting is when the tool is used by several executives in the same team because this allows managerial synergies to develop. This is a tool that is particularly well-suited to projects aimed at improving the effectiveness of the management team. It is also a very powerful tool in the context of mergers or company integration when it comes to identifying the team&#8217;s collective and individual conditions for success.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1c0f7f0 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"1c0f7f0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d3d471 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5d3d471\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How are these tools used?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e6f62c5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e6f62c5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p> <b>[RR]<\/b> &#8211; They&#8217;re designed to help executives succeed.
