Using Deeper Signals for Leadership Development at Sutherland Global
How Sutherland boosted leadership effectiveness with scientific assessments
Sutherland Global partnered with Deeper Signals and Quint India to enhance managerial effectiveness through a leadership development program. By leveraging science-backed assessments, real-time feedback, and inclusive leadership strategies, Sutherland equipped its managers with greater self-awareness, stronger collaboration skills, and a deeper sense of diversity.
The Opportunity
Sutherland Global, a global leader in process transformation services, collected employee experience feedback that revealed the need for increased managerial effectiveness. To address this issue, the company decided to launch a leadership development program to enhance leaders' emotional intelligence. They needed a quick, science-backed tool to boost managers’ self-awareness and facilitate leadership education and development activities.
Deeper Signals' Solution
To address the needs, Sutherland Global together with Deeper Signals and Quint Indiacreated a comprehensive customized talent assessment solution that supported the leadership development program:
Science-backed assessments Leaders gained deep insights into their personality and work style using Deeper Signals’ Core Drivers and Core Values Diagnostics.
Real-time feedback Participants read, analyzed, and discussed their results using Deeper Signals reports, enhancing self-awareness and leadership growth.
Understanding emotional intelligence Leaders explored the role of emotional intelligence in effective leadership, learning how to recognize emotions in themselves and others to build stronger, more empathetic connections.
Building empathy through contrasts Managers were paired with colleagues who had opposite Core Drivers, helping them understand different perspectives and improve collaboration.
Fostering inclusive leadership The program emphasized cognitive diversity, equipping leaders with strategies to create more inclusive and high-performing teams.
Ongoing development with Deeper Signals Leaders received continued access to the platform, enabling them to track progress and apply insights beyond the workshop.
The Outcome
Improved self-awareness Managers gained a deeper understanding of how they show up in their roles.
Enhanced ability to recognize the impact of behaviors This development program created a common language for understanding others and helped managers recognize the impact of their behaviors on their colleagues and teams.
Identification of development goals Feedback reports highlighted the connection between Core Drivers and Core Values, helping leaders understand their strengths and risks.
Appreciation for diversity Increased appreciation for diversity beyond surface-level traits, recognizing the importance of different personality types within teams.
The Deeper Signals Difference
Deeper Signals stands out due to its quick, scientific, scalable, and modern tools:
Scientific Validity The Core Drivers and Core Values Diagnostics are rigorously tested and validated, ensuring fair and reliable insights.
Scalability The Deeper Signals platform easily scales across the organization, providing consistent, high-quality data and analytics.
Modern Approach Interactive dashboards and personalized coaching integrate seamlessly into existing workflows, empowering leaders with real-time, actionable insights.
Ethical and Inclusive The Core Drivers and Core Values Diagnostics are designed to be fair and free of adverse impact, promoting diversity and inclusion in talent management decisions.
"The core drivers and core values have a strong fundamental of personality science. What happens is that the psychometric assessments usually highlight only the personality insights. But the fact that Deeper Signals combines personality and values just makes it more potent as an insight, because both of them guide how we show up, explain our choices, and our behaviors. So it really gave the managers a 360-degree overview of themselves."
