Derailers Profiler

Even the most promising and accomplished leaders and professionals can develop counterproductive personality characteristics that derail performance, progression and business growth.

With our globally validated psychometric assessment, Derailers Profiler, you can precisely and swiftly identify these characteristics across your organisation to manage and mitigate these risks effectively.

From executive-level fraud, to toxic leadership, to risky individual behaviour at any organisational level, identifying counterproductive attitudes and  behaviours in the workplace is challenging. These subtle characteristics often mask as strong interpersonal and social skills, making them difficult for organisations to accurately detect.

Our Personality Derailers Profiler is a unique assessment measuring the nine risk factors that make up an individual’s risk profile: Egotistic, Fearless, Bold, Single-Minded, Calculating, Pragmatic, Detached, Competitive and Antagonistic.

Recognised for its validity and reliability, our Personality Derailers Profiler empowers businesses and individuals to gain profound insight and heightened awareness of specific risk factors that can negatively impact professional relationships and career success. It identifies behavioural tendencies associated with these risk factors and offers tailored development insights to mitigate potential risks.

Case study

Derailers Profiler in action

Challenge

A financial services business observed numerous high-profile examples of damaging behaviour across the financial services industry and wanted to avoid experiencing the same. The organisation was determined to identify derailer behaviours in its leadership, trading and compliance populations so it could better understand the risks and development opportunities.

Approach

Using the Derailers Profiler, we assessed the three target populations using our survey-based psychometric and follow-up interviews with teams to identify individual and collective risks. Solutions included team-based development, individual targeted coaching and targeted performance plans.

Impact

Individual behaviour tracked over the next 12 months showed significant shift in behaviours from counterproductive to productive

Team engagement data reported significantly healthier cultures and less counterproductive workplace behaviours

Significant reduction in employee relations incidences
