Having completed the PsyCap Potential as an individual I was immediately impressed with the level of insight and knowledge it gave me to help me enhance and improve my skills. So much so, I have introduced it across the organisation not only for new senior hires but also for current leadership as part of the learning journey. The insights this tool gives, along with us choosing a facilitated workshop to enhance the delivery has had an immediate impact on the leadership and their self development.

What I like most is that PeopleWise take time to understand the organisation and how the tool will work best with your leadership. I won’t hire without it now!

Gillian Empringham, Global OD Director

I have partnered with PeopleWise in the talent space for over 15 years now. And In that time we have both seen the function of ‘talent management’ emerge and crystalise in to a distinct functional discipline within the world of strategic human resource management. Organisations have become wiser to the true value talent management can bring to the success of an organisation through the proactive planning & objective assessment & development of their human resource capital. Businesses are now clear that ‘getting it wrong’ can have a profound effect on organisational performance, and ‘getting it right’ can pay real dividends. PeopleWise has delivered time and time again where others have failed. Their model of organizational talent allows a business to pinpoint precisely where it should be investing its development dollar. And their leadership development programmes are gamechanging. We have been growing more than 20 percent year on year for 6 years and we could not have don’t it without PeopleWise.

Global Head of Leadership Development,

PeopleWise has supported the organisations that I have worked with for more than a decade, to understand what good talent looks like – as it relates to a specific business. And more critically, how to identify that talent both internally or in the external market through a range of assessment instruments that are aligned to the technical and cultural needs of that business. Over time I have been able to demonstrate to senior leadership that the recruitment and promotion decisions we have made, coupled with the development programmes we have put in place with PeopleWise have delivered far more reliable results when we have partnered with PeopleWise, than when we have not. This has borne fruit time and time again, enabling us to make clearer and more sure-footed decisions around key and senior appointments, that have facilitated the turn-around of failing multi-million dollar global accounts, driven tangible overall organisational and team performance and enabled the Executive Leadership to make objective and credible talent decisions whilst mitigating risk.

How did this partnership between Wapping HC and PeopleWise arise?

Great question as it might seem like a random link otherwise! One of our Consultant Psychologists Ben Green is captain of the Men’s X team. We’re always looking to get more actively involved in the community and this was a fantastic opportunity that presented itself. Ben always speaks passionately about the club and the great work they do and we couldn’t resist a part of that! The Ladies 1^st team are doing so well we cannot wait to see where this journey takes them!

How can Business Psychology help sport?

Business Psychologists and our team here at PeopleWise are enabling behaviour change from the inside. We talk with Business leaders and senior management teams about the “mindset” of a great leader or team player. The mindset of a leader maps incredibly closely to the mindset of a successful athlete in whatever field. Some of these include:

Drive
Resilience
Emotional Intelligence
Influencing

A strong drive for example, that willingness to win is incredibly important – no successful athlete ever just ended up winning that gold medal! We at PeopleWise really see a strong correlation from the business world and believe we can use this competitive advantage to help sports teams like Wapping too.

What are the most influential leadership qualities in business and in sport?

That is a great question! Where to start…. One of the things that we can say with some confidence is that leadership can be hugely situational; think of Winston Churchill, a great war time leader who had the perfect attributes for that situation, but less successful during a time of peace. So, flexibility and agility are definitely critical. The key quality for me that stands out though is the idea of Positive Resilience, the human capacity to thrive and grow in a VUCA world. It is a key psychological capability that differentiates people’s ability to thrive, not just survive.

All of us face volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity in an increasingly fast paced world. While often unavoidable, how we face into and respond to the disruption and change in our world can mean the difference between thriving or just surviving under the pressures and demands. Harnessed in the right way, pressure and challenge can stimulate, drive performance and enable us to thrive and grow. The key lies in our ability to learn how to exploit pressure and use it to our advantage – enabling us to persevere, adapt and grow from disruption, uncertainty, threat or challenge.

If you think of any sporting star, successful team or business guru they have all had the ‘tough times’, but it is their approach and mindset to weather and grow from these challenges that sets them apart. Our research at PeopleWise has identified 5 core psychological factors that contribute to Positively Resilient individuals and teams:

Purposefulness
Perspective
Control
Connectedness
Growth

It is how individuals leverage and grow each of these 5 factors that makes the most influential leaders!
