The Circumplex
Constructive Styles
Constructive styles encourage the attainment of organisational goals through people development; promote teamwork and synergy; and enhance individual, group and organisational adaptability and effectiveness.
Aggressive/Defensive Styles
Aggressive/Defensive styles lead people to focus on their own needs at the expense of those of their group and organisation, and lead to stress, turnover and inconsistent performance.
Passive/Defensive Styles
Passive/Defensive styles lead people to subordinate themselves to the organisation, stifle creativity and initiative, and allow the organisation to stagnate.
Why Use LSI?
The LSI is a measurement and feedback tool designed to help individuals identify how their thinking and behaviour are helping or hindering their satisfaction and effectiveness. It is made up of two parts:
LSI1: Self-Description – Measures personal thinking styles and relates these to perceived effectiveness (self-efficacy) and satisfaction at work and at home. This can be a stand-alone instrument.
LSI2: Description by Others – Colleagues describe their experience of the individual’s behaviour.
A Consultant or Coach helps the individual develop improvement strategies for building greater personal satisfaction and effectiveness.
Why Use GSI?
The Group Styles Inventory™ (GSI) is the only research-based tool that provides a valid and reliable measure of how people in groups interact with each other and work as a team to solve problems. Using the GSI helps teams to:
- Talk about team behaviours and the “elephants in the room” in a safe way.
- Have the conversations that matter.
- Illustrate the impact behaviours have on group performance.
- Create a platform to improvement planning for enhanced performance.
- Produce reliable data to use as a base for evaluation and change.
- Improve an individual’s ability to work as part of a team.
- Allows group members to clearly identify what is helping or hindering the team in its efforts.
