All artificial intelligence notwithstanding, companies only exist because of people. And the longer we have been in business, the more we understand the importance of our employees. More than that, they are our most valuable assets. With engaged, enthusiastic employees, your growth takes off, and that’s where, as far as we’re concerned, the Insights model comes in. This helps people better connect with other people through self-knowledge, leading to greater and more lasting results. That’s why we not only work with Insights at our clients’ sites, but also apply it ourselves. Read here what it is and how it works.
What is the Insights Discovery model?
The Insights model teaches people to better connect with other people through self-knowledge. It is a means to achieve faster, better and more sustainable results together in a professional context.
More than 20 years ago, Andrew and Andi Lothian developed this methodology based on psychological insights from Carl Jung. Their basic premise is that all people are unique, have deep-seated preferences and therefore a particular view of situations.
Insights shows the influence of those preferences on your leadership style, on your dealings with others and on your added value to a team. Knowing these will also help you connect with others better. If you have better contact, they reason, you will also work better together.
What does Insights do?
Insights identifies 4 basic behavioral preferences that determine how you react, think and act. These behavioral preferences are depicted in 4 basic colors.
Everyone has all four colors in them. The personal combination of colors reflects your unique personality – your most natural self. Insights Discovery thus defines 72 different combinations, with differences even within those combinations.
Insight colors as an easy tool
The Insights colors have no value by themselves. They help memorize behavior types. JDIdoes not useinsightsto compartmentalize people, but rather as a tool to
Insights thus helps discover where your own strengths lie and those of others. Through a team analysis, you gain insight into the strengths of your team, and thus see the work points. This is how you will eventually unleash the full power of your organization.
