The Tribal Culture: strengths and areas of attention
Vacaturenieuws dec 2017 – #eindejaarscarrièrereflectie
(Waarom) ben jij proactief? En wat levert het op?
In vrijwel alle vacatures wordt gezocht naar proactieve mensen. En bij vrijwel elk assessment is het een “cruciale” competentie. Tegelijkertijd is het ook wel lastig om het begrip “proactiviteit” handen en voeten te geven: wat betekent het eigenlijk om proactief te zijn? Wij zien proactiviteit als een onderdeel van zelfmanagement. Wie van nature naar voren beweegt zal meer (ongevraagd) initiatief ...[Read More]
About Culture and Strategy – Part 1

Een betere wereld begint bij minder empathie, zegt deze hoogleraar
Als we intakes doen voor assessments of voor onze search opdrachten, komt het onderwerp haast altijd wel aan bod: empathisch vermogen. Vaak in de context van EQ of People Leadership. Meestal in de betekenis: kan iemand zich inleven in de ander? In de 1-op-1 relatie goed te begrijpen. Want natuurlijk willen we een leidinggevende die zich in kan leven in onze situatie. En natuurlijk willen we accoun ...[Read More]
Defining our own values
In september 2016 Elevate had a session to create its own Team Canvas. The Team Canvas is a tool that is quite popular with our customers. It helps in defining business goals, purpose and commitments for a specific time frame.
