Under pressure, integrity is the first thing to go overboard

How will your staff hold up under pressure?

And how will you feel when you find out?

In times of crisis, such as the global financial crisis, organisations face the challenge of trying to maintain their objectives and meet targets that are very difficult to achieve.

This puts people at all levels under pressure - often a great deal of pressure.

In fact, stress on staff is often the ultimate pressure test for an organisation.

Sometimes, people rise to the opportunity of such a challenge. Other times, disappointing you, they sink, defeated by the challenge, to unacceptable depths of behaviour. Depths from which the organisation might never be able to recover.

As a manager, you want to know your team consists of people you can trust with your livelihood, if not your life.

How useful would it be, then, if you had a way to tell how a staff member would behave under pressure?

How valuable would it be to know the 'default management style' for each of your key staff so you could do something to avoid that style costing your organisation dearly?
