Strength Deployment Inventory
Insights to Improve Relationships
Improve communication, collaboration, inclusion—virtually all aspects of work that involve interpersonal interactions—with the SDI® assessment.
ENHANCE YOUR SELF-AWARENESS
The Strength Deployment Inventory (SDI) offers a comprehensive understanding of your workplace personality through four interrelated views: two that reveal what truly drives you at work, and two that highlight your preferred strengths—the behaviors you’re most likely to use (and sometimes overuse) when collaborating with colleagues.
Conflict Sequence
The SDI assessment reveals not just your default motivations, but also how they change under pressure. Your unique Conflict Sequence illustrates the dynamic shifts in your motives when facing workplace obstacles or interpersonal tensions. By understanding this sequence, you gain valuable insights into your conflict management style, helping you navigate challenging situations more effectively, improve team dynamics, and maintain productivity even when under stress.
Strengths Portrait
In the context of the SDI assessment, strengths are defined as behaviors that foster positive outcomes in professional relationships. Your personalized Strengths Portrait provides a comprehensive ranking of the behaviors you’re most likely to use in your work environment. This portrait not only highlights how you naturally approach tasks and interactions but also reveals the strategies you use to get results. By understanding your Strengths Portrait, you can employ your strengths more effectively, improving team collaboration and your overall workplace performance.
Overdone Strengths Portrait
While strengths are crucial for success, the SDI assessment recognizes that even our best qualities can become liabilities when overused or misapplied. Your personalized Overdone Strengths Portrait identifies the workplace behaviors you’re most likely to overdo, potentially triggering conflicts and hindering productivity. By understanding these tendencies, you can develop greater self-awareness, improve your professional relationships, and fine-tune your approach to various work situations.
