FCC Executive Leadership Triad Profile Assessment™
Fellows Corporate Consortium’s (FCC) focus centers on strategy and management consultation; substantively Leader Development, Leader Coaching, Leader Change, Leader Performance, and Executive Coaching and Executive Leader Development. This instrument is not designed to say anyone is wrong, or diminished by having a different profile. Rather, the instrument identifies characteristics of an individual leader that align with the characteristics of multiple leaders in the global arena.
Every leader operates from a primary style, and often has more than one style in operation. A leader may use one style in a given situation and another in a different situation. However, sometimes the styles do not truly complement one another. When the styles conflict, the challenge to the employees and teams becomes one of potential dysfunction, frustration, missed outcome, and lost opportunity.
FCC Executive Leadership Triad Profile Assessment™ seeks to educate persons and assist them in understanding and changing their behavior based on specific situations that emerge, which is critical to the success of the micro, meso, and macro levels of the organization.
