RoleDNA™ Mapping

WHAT IT DOES

Defining how success behaves in every role

At Alexander Executive Search, we know performance problems are rarely about effort. They’re about misalignmentRoleDNA™ Mapping is our proprietary advisory service that ensures leaders and employees are positioned to succeed by aligning role expectations with human behaviour.

This is not a personality test. It is not an HR exercise. It is a CEO-level diagnostic that reveals whether your organization is structured for performance — or friction.

WHY US?

What Is RoleDNA™ Mapping?

RoleDNA™ Mapping is a structured organizational alignment service that defines how each role must behave to succeed — and evaluates whether the person in that role is naturally equipped to deliver.

Using the McQuaig Job Survey Platform, we work with your leadership team to:

Clearly define the behavioral requirements of each role

Assess current role holders against those requirements

Identify alignment, risk, and untapped potential

Where misalignment exists, we work directly with leaders to recalibrate expectations, adjust leadership approach, or redesign roles — unlocking performance without unnecessary disruption.

WHY US?

Why This Matters

When roles are unclear or misaligned:

Average performers stagnate

Leaders manage people instead of outcomes

Growth becomes inconsistent and unpredictable

RoleDNA™ Mapping removes guesswork and emotion from people decisions — replacing them with clarity, structure, and objective insight.

OUR PROCESS

Role Mapping

We work with senior leadership to define each role using the McQuaig Job Survey, clarifying:

  • Decision-making style
  • Pace and pressure tolerance
  • Need for structure versus autonomy
  • Leadership and communication demands

This creates a behavioral blueprint for success in every position.

OUR PROCESS

Behavioral Assessment

We assess each individual currently in those roles to:

  • Identify natural strengths and stress points
  • Measure alignment and misalignment
  • Highlight performance risk and development opportunities

This step isolates whether performance challenges are role-related, leadership-related, or individual-related.

OUR PROCESS

Strategic Alignment

Where gaps are identified, we partner with department leaders to:

  • Recalibrate role expectations
  • Adjust leadership and management approach
  • Redesign responsibilities or role scope where required

The objective is performance optimisation — not replacement.
