Founded on the highly respected Facet5 model of Personality1, SpotLight can light the path to self-awareness.
The SpotLight Development MatrixWhat is SpotLight?The SpotLight Development Matrix provides individuals withtheir personality related Strengths, Risks, Frustrations and
Self-awareness is pivotal to individual development. Trainersand Coaches may differ in when and how they deliver this butfew deny its value and relevance. Challenges. SpotLight provides immediate, personal feedback
and also delivers a simple, practical process for creatingtailored development goals and plans.Self-development starts with a good understanding of your
personal style and the attitudes, values and beliefs that driveit. This, together with an appreciation of how you might be seen Spotlight should be seen as a starting point for building
development plans. It highlights potential strengths andby others, and a language for describing differences indevelopment issues. It should be viewed in the light of otherbehaviour, lend background, perspective and a framework to
any developmental exercise. relevant information such as the requirements of your currentrole or future aspirations within your organisation.
What does the SpotLight Report show?
ChallengesFrustrationsRisksStrengthsYour Challenges are potentialdevelopment goals related toyour Risks and Frustrations
Frustrations arise when othersare different from you. Theywork differently and thatcauses tension.
A Risk appears when youtake your Strength toextremes. Then it worksagainst you. It can become aweakness.
Strengths are things you dowell. They require little effort,come naturally to you and willbe seen by others.
To help you understand how these impact you at work we have grouped them into five Domains as follows:
Do you decide quickly or take time to think?Making decisions andsetting goals Do you argue strongly or try to placate others?
Do you decide independently or see what others think?
Are you openly enthusiastic or more reserved?Engaging with andconsulting others Do you socialize easily or prefer privacy?
Do you discuss broadly or prefer private research?
Do you focus on the task or look at the big picture?Focusing on peopleand tasks Do you make allowances for others or expect them to look after themselves?
Do you trust what you are told or do you look for proof?
Do you prefer to be structured and to plan ahead or do you prefer to remain flexible?Managing your workand commitments Are you careful and prudent or prefer to keep a light and responsive touch?
How do you respond to stress and identify risk?Responding to stressand identifying risk Is it normal for you to feel anxious about things or are you generally relaxed?
Do you always see the bright side or do you continually check for obstacles?

For SpotLight to be useful it must provide information that you understand and can relate too. This section of your report provides a process for exploring your Matrix and formulating a development plan that is meaningful to you.
Development Planner Making the most of your Report
About the Development PlannerStep 1 is designed to make you really think about behaviours that are working well for you and those that are proving less effective.
Step 2 helps you create your first development goal.
Step 3 has you producing a detailed action plan.
You will find a fully Worked Example attached and a blank Development Form for use later in the exercise.
Two heads are better than oneYou may choose to complete the process alone but working with a partner has a number of advantages as they:
• act as a sounding board;
• help you think things through by offering another point of view and challenging your attitudes and assumptions;
• can open up opportunities or solutions that you had not thought of.
There is a strong case for forming development partnerships with people from within your organisation. They have an insider’s knowledge of the workplace culture, operating standards, practices and accountabilities and an appreciation of constraints;
Partnerships where both parties are working on their development can also work well. In this case you will take it in turns to act as ‘coach’ for each other.
ObjectiveTo determine which Strengths present a development challenge for you.
There are three types of Challenges that could be associated with any of your Strengths:
• The Challenge statements in your Matrix relate to a Strength you overplay and is now a Risk.
Review and reflection may reveal two additional types of challenges:
• A Challenge related to a Strength that you underplay – this could be something you have not previously recognised, have undervalued or have had little opportunity to apply
• A Challenge related to a Strength you overplay in response to a Frustration.
Step 1 Review your SpotLight Development Report
Guidelines• Review all of the statements in your SpotLight Report.
SpotLight uses shading to show where your approach is most likely to differ from the average person. We suggest that you pay particular attention to these but the decision about what to prioritise should be based on your own analysis and judgement.
• Think about your results in relation to your behaviour, performance and the quality of your relationships at work. Do the statements reflect your understanding of yourself, your experience or any feedback you might have received?
• Be honest with yourself. This is a time for reflection. Avoid the temptation to dismiss anything that you do not like or would rather not acknowledge.

Yes
Step 1 Review your SpotLight Development Report 7
Is this a strength I recognise in myself? and/orIs it something others have recognised in me?
Strength Risk Frustration Challenge
Is this something I regularly use?
Is this something I should develop?
Yes
No
Yes
Does the Risk statement apply to me?[ask yourself, what would others say?]
Yes No
Does the Frustration statement apply to me?[ask yourself, what would others say?]
ProcessWork through each of the five Domains in turn.
Review the associated Strengths, Risks, Frustrations and Challenges using the chart below.
Decide which strengths contain any kind of development challenge for you and identify them by ticking the boxes provided in your report.
Move on to the next Strength in your SpotLight Matrix
Tick the Strength. You will be able to define your own Challenge in Step 2
No
No
Yes
Tick the Strength.The Challenge statement should be relevant and help you to refine your Development Goal in Step 2
No
The Challenge statement will not be relevant at this time. Does the Strength need addressing in some other way?
Yes No
ObjectiveThe aim of a Development Goal is to define the change in behaviour that you want to make to address your Challenges.
GuidelinesWe recommend that you select one Challenge to work on at any one time.
Step 2 Identify your first Development Goal
ProcessOf the Strengths you have ticked, decide which, if developed or managed, would make the most significant difference to your effectiveness at work.
Using the blank Development Form provided, record the Strength you have selected.
Answering the questions below will then help you to:
• describe what is happening now;
• describe the nature of the Challenge;
• create the Development Goal to describe what you want to achieve. These usually include the words ‘I will’ and should be stated in the positive (see Examples below).
Questions
• Why is this strength important for you to address?
• What is happening now?
• How will it help you in your role?
• What are the consequences of not working on it – for you and for those you work with?
• So what would you like to achieve?

Examples
Strength Challenge Development Goal
I hold strong views about most things and am able to explain them well
To develop the strength To develop the ability to express my views when dealing with more senior people
I will express my views when I believe it could improve outcomes
I plan and implement procedures to drive and monitor performance
To avoid the risk To moderate my use of this strength to allow for new approaches that could improve performance
When faced with a task I will consider new, more innovative ways to approach it
I am patient and tolerant To manage the frustration To develop effective ways of dealing with argumentative people
I will be more assertive with argumentative people about issues that are important to my team or me
GuidelinesWork through the following questions and record your findings in the relevant section of your Development Form.
Step 3 Create the Plan
Process
New behaviours I will use to achieve this goal
• What do you need to do differently in terms of behaviour?
• What would your wisest friend/colleague advise you to do?
• What do you see others do in similar circumstances that make them successful?
• What do they do that you can emulate?
• What kind of attitude would it be useful for you to develop to support this new behaviour?
Committing to building new habits
• What opportunities are there to try these new behaviours?
• When will you do this by?
• What support do you need and from whom?
• What could get in the way of you progressing your goal?
• How will you overcome this?
• How will you know you have succeeded?
