YOU DESERVE TO OWN YOUR CAREER!!!
You need to understand how you work best, how each team member works best, and how they work best together to optimize your PROFESSIONAL IMPACT. How? Leveraging the GC Index. |

One of the paradoxes of modern business is that we’re increasingly using data to inform decision-making, but there’s a real lack of actionable data on the people that solve problems, drive initiatives and innovate solutions.
The GC Index doesn’t measure personality. Instead, it measures how individuals are driven to create impact within a business setting. This is significant and relevant for any professional because:
In essence, the GC Index measures an individual’s energy to make an impact in 5 key areas (“proclivities”) that map nicely onto the core business cycle:
The GC Index doesn’t measure personality. Instead, it measures how individuals are driven to create impact within a business setting. This is significant and relevant for any professional because:
- It’s outcome- and action- orientated
- It directly maps to core business activities in any company
- It’s optimized for “speed to impact”
- It’s a unifying lens to inform decisions across multiple business processes
- It scales from a single leader to an entire organization
- In other words, The GC Index bridges the gap between people decisions and business results.
In essence, the GC Index measures an individual’s energy to make an impact in 5 key areas (“proclivities”) that map nicely onto the core business cycle:
- Generating creative business ideas - the “Game Changer” proclivity
- Filtering, prioritizing and planning these - the “Strategist” proclivity
- Executing the strategy - the “Implementer” proclivity
- Continually improving the result - the “Polisher” proclivity
- Working together effectively to deliver on all this - the “Play Maker” proclivity
Game Changers
“It’s not about reinventing the wheel. It’s about finding something to replace the wheel.”
Game Changers are individuals characterized by an obsessive imagination that is not constrained by traditional ways of doing things – or by what they see as arbitrary rules and expectations.
They see possibilities and ways of doing things that others don’t. They have a way of imagining how things could be, and when they become obsessed with an idea, they see how things should be. Their contribution to an organization is radical rather than an incremental change.
Strategists
“Why are we doing this?”
Strategists are ‘big picture thinkers’ who, at their best, see and analyze patterns and trends in their world. They have an ability to ‘see’ where events are taking us and how to respond to that prediction of how things will develop.
They will enthuse and influence others with new, creative and innovative approaches to doing things. They will have the business acumen and analytical skills to convert ideas into commercially focused strategies.
Implementers
“Let’s get the job done and move on to the next project”
Implementers have a strong drive to achieve. At their best, they can be relied upon to deliver. They are often seen as conscientious, ‘a safe pair of hands’.
They are typically high energy, action and outcome focused. They will get things done and demonstrate a resilience to setbacks.
Polishers
“If a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing properly”
Polishers are rarely satisfied. They assume that things can always be improved and channel this optimistic drive into continuous improvements, innovations and the pursuit of excellence and perfection.
They can take products, processes and procedures with patience for incremental change, and constantly seek to improve them.
Play Makers
“Get the relationships right and the right tasks will get done”
Play Makers are at their best when they are getting things done through others, they are the facilitators and orchestrators within a team.
It’s easy to assume that charismatic leaders are playmakers, but the truth is that charisma isn’t measured by the GC Index. What truly distinguishes the Play Maker proclivity is their ability to set aside their personal agenda to help the team win.
