According to the farm's project co-ordinator, Kevin Wustefeld Janssens, "As a result of the assessments, we were able to establish the actual potential, understanding and therefore evoke our capability as managers by managing people correctly, therefore creating a spirit of motivation and increased productivity." He added that by doing this, they were able to restructure the business, and appoint and place people with the correct behaviour profiles to the various positions of leadership.

The power of understanding
The process has been an amazing revelation, said Wustefeld, and the fact that real capacity exists in current staff eliminates the need to recruit or rely on outsiders. This debunks the myth of scarcity or inadequate capacity within empowerment projects that enable people to manage their own destiny through the ability to understand themselves and understand how to adapt their own behaviour to motivate another person's behaviour, he said.
As the saying goes, a "born leader" constantly modifies behaviour to draw out the best from others. However, most managers find it difficult initially to act in different ways with different people. With constant practice and awareness, not only will it become second nature; leaders can increase their own awareness and sensitivity to others, and as a consequence, influence others to become more productive and focused in their own self-development.
"By gaining clarity of your own behavioural style and that of others' and modifying your own behaviour, you will then be able to effectively manage and lead a team of individuals with variant personalities."
Constantly modifying your behaviour is not the hallmark of a great leader. It is the hallmark of a lying cheating stealing piece of shit. Your own behavioural style cost the failed farm project R3000 a day!
