What is Human Design?
The Human Design system is the science of differentiation, showing human beings that we all have a unique design genetic design. This tool offers insights into an individual’s mode of operating energetically, personality, strengths, and challenges. By understanding their Human Design, employees can better align with their natural energy patterns, leading to increased job satisfaction, productivity, and overall well-being.
What sets Human Design apart from Personality assessments, such as (The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator® (MBTI®) assessment, Big 5 Personality test, StrengthsFinder and the Enneagram?
These are self-assessments, where you answer questions about yourself to determine your personality type, whereas Human Design is calculated on your birth date and time using specific energy systems, giving you your energetic blueprint, the unique WAY in which you can BEST operate in work and Life.
Leadership style
From a leadership perspective, Human Design offers a unique lens to view and nurture the potential of each team member. Leaders can use Human Design to tailor their management style and learn to make the “right-aligned” decisions to suit the individual energy types within their teams. This personalized approach promotes a more harmonious and effective workplace, where each employee is empowered to contribute their best work.
A leader in the workplace does not only refer to roles that involve managing people, a leader is someone who guides, motivates, and supports their team to achieve collective goals. Effective leadership involves understanding the unique strengths and challenges of each team member and creating an environment where everyone can thrive. Leaders not only set the direction but also inspire and empower others to contribute their best.
Human Design helps leaders understand how they naturally lead and which roles they are best suited for. For example, an employee who is a Projector may excel in guiding and mentoring their team, while a Manifestor might be more effective in initiating projects and driving change. Understanding their energy type allows leaders to manage their workload and interactions more effectively, aligning their responsibilities with what they do best.
