Over the course of your life you have developed strategies that determine how you interact in the world. One aspect of those strategies we call the patterns of engagement.

When your personal beliefs or values are challenged by someone or something, different patterns of engagement are set in motion. When used positively they help you. Other patterns may be unexpected, unwanted, confusing or unhelpful.

You are probably aware of some of your patterns of engagement – and totally unaware of others. Many are valuable. They drive you and make you effective. Others are destructive and work against you. They limit your ability.

If you recognise that you are being drawn into an all-too-familiar pattern of behaviour, the Leadership Insight instrument provides you with the information that will let you choose to break out successfully.
