(Waarom) ben jij proactief? En wat levert het op?

proactiviteit

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

culture and strategy

This year on the 1st of July we celebrate Elevates 15th Anniversary. It has been a quite interesting journey looking at it from both a business perspective but also from a financial perspective (market volatility).

Something we would have never been successful at if we wouldn’t have had the trust of ...[Read More]

Een betere wereld begint bij minder empathie, zegt deze hoogleraar

empathie

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

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.
