Evaluating Leadership Using PACE for Individuals

Leadership styles and behaviours are critical in shaping the success of both individuals and teams within an organisation in today's dynamic business landscape. Understanding and cultivating effective leadership behaviour is critical for creating a positive work environment and accelerating long-term growth. Drax Executive, a well-known name in the executive search industry, recognises the importance of evaluating leadership potential and personal leadership through their PACE behavioural analytics.

DRAX employs PACE to identify the key behaviours observed in the top-performing leadership teams. PACE was created in collaboration with leading academics and private equity data to create the only behavioural assessment tool that objectively measures leaders and leadership teams in private equity and high-growth businesses. In this blog post, we will explore the concept of PACE for Individuals, its benefits for teams and companies, and Drax's pivotal role in promoting effective leadership behaviour.

Harnessing Team Complementarity Through Developing Individual Awareness

Our abilities, competencies and expertise are enhanced or diluted by the behaviours we illustrate, both individually and as a team.

PACE stands for Pragmatism, Agility, Curiosity and Execution: key outliers that, when captured within the team, can help to amplify the team’s performance and successfully face significant challenges.

Developing an understanding of an individual's PACE profile and how their behaviour can help strengthen the team or impact their performance empowers the individual to manage themselves and access untapped potential.

What is PACE for Individuals?

PACE is our proprietary leadership behavioural evaluation model that allows high-performing leaders to understand their dominant behaviours and areas for growth. It focuses on evaluating the behaviours of individual leaders and empowering them to cultivate effective leadership styles in the workplace. Through a set of behavioural approaches to leadership, PACE aims to identify the unique strengths and areas for improvement of leaders, providing a roadmap for their personal and professional growth.

PACE for Individuals delves into individual leaders' specific behaviours and attributes, addressing their personal leadership evaluation and potential. PACE for Teams, on the other hand, evaluates the collective dynamics and interactions of team members, identifying opportunities for improved collaboration and team performance.
