Assessments

“Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom”

- Aristotle -

Awareness is the first step to growth.

Individual and team assessments can provide valuable insights into strengths, weaknesses, communication styles, and work preferences. By understanding behavioral tendencies and preferences, individuals can improve self-awareness and self-management, which can lead to more effective communication, collaboration, and leadership.

A thorough assessment tied to a professional debrief can also identify areas for personal and professional growth and development, and provide a roadmap for goal achievement.

Here are some of the assessments we offer:

Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team

The Five Behaviors of a Cohesive Team assessment provides both individual and team insight on the principles of good teamwork. The assessment leverages the the team development process described in Patrick Lencioni’s best-selling book The Five Dysfunctions of a Team. The assessment provides insights on an individual’s and team’s approach to trust, conflict, commitment, accountability, and results.

Tied with a professional debrief or team facilitation, this assessment forms the basis for understanding how to be a effective team member and how to build cohesive teams.

The DISC Behavioral Profile

The DISC Profile—the most widely used behavior profiling tool of its kind—is a simple, practical, and easy-to-remember model that focuses on individual patterns of observable behavior and emotions. It measures the intensity of characteristics using scales of directness, openness, pace, and priority to create a unique blend of four behavioral styles.

Insights from the assessment can drive new and better behavioral choices for individuals and teams, leading to greater impact and outcomes through effective interactions to build mutually beneficial relationships.

Agile EQ

The Agile EQ assessment measures an individual's emotional intelligence (EI) and communication style. The assessment measures an individual's EI in eight key areas: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, adaptability, empathy, communication, conflict management, and teamwork.

Used with a debrief, the Agile EQ assessment can highlight individual strengths and areas for development, as well as strategies for improving emotional intelligence, working collaboratively, adapting to change, and maintaining a growth mindset.

Mission, goal, and action alignment is a foundation of individual and organizational success. Simply stated, individuals who know their organization's "why," "what," and "how" are more engaged and create more meaningful results.

The Mission-Accountability assessment survey provides insight on whether individuals and teams are aligned on what is important, focused on achieving the goals, and operating within the organization’s values.
