Overview

This webinar hones in on potential barriers that may get in the way of your career plans and goals. Significantly, individuals can receive an “Early-Warning” of the skills, behaviors, and mindsets needed at the next level. This applies to:

  • Individual contributors – to consider the skills needed in supervisory or management roles.
  • Managers – to transition from the technical and tactical level to the strategic level.
  • High-potential leaders – to zero in on where they could potentially struggle.

 

The Career Roadblocks Finder has been developed with a different perspective from other tools (where the focus is on strengths). The Career Roadblocks Finder focuses on where we are most likely to fail (at achieving promotions or realizing other career opportunities).

The Career Roadblocks Finder is a scientifically sound, research-based tool. The tool conforms to the highest ethical standards and best practices. The result is that the Career Roadblocks Finder helps pinpoint specific targeted behaviors that can severely limit leader and manager effectiveness.

Through careful development, researchers have identified personal traits and skills that differentiate successful leaders from derailed leaders. These skills include:

  • Diversity of Experience
  • Interpersonal Skills
  • Emotional Stability and Composure
  • Integrity
  • Handling Mistakes
  • Technical and Cognitive Skills

 

The Career Roadblocks Finder helps leaders and managers excel at using their talents and skills by identifying and removing these limiting behaviors, or “DERAILERS.”

This webinar offers each learner a chance to consider the SIGNALS of CAREER DERAILMENT and what this can mean for them. These signals include:

  • Loss of position, demotion, or involuntary reassignment.
  • The individual is competent in the role but displays behaviors that create “static.”
  • Perceived as lacking patience.
  • Being ineffective with teams.
  • Lacking in political savvy.
  • Problem behaviors that are knowable, manageable, and correctable become a huge barrier to further promotions IF ignored early in a career.

 

The webinar further helps learners understand and evaluate three levels of behavior that are can be affecting careers:

  • DERAILER – behaviors that can affect promotions or career advancement.
  • STALLER – behaviors that may be a problem at times.
  • ACCELERATOR – behaviors that demonstrate you are performing well.

 

The BOTTOM LINE: Learners can know what behaviors to ACCELERATE and what behaviors can cause PROBLEMS.

These key behaviors are organized for the learner around these domains and scales:

This live event is free. A recording will be available after the event with an HRDQ-U Membership for Learning Professionals.

  • How to evaluate three levels of behavior that can affect your career.
  • The signals of career derailment and what this can mean for you.
  • How career problems can arise whether you are an individual contributor, a high-potential manager, or a leader.
  • How self-management as well as work-related behaviors can develop into problems.
  • The behaviors that can be “accelerated” for your career success.
