Assessment instruments provide valuable data, whether as a starting point for improvement, a midpoint diagnosis, or a follow-up measure of progress.
As part of a coaching engagement, individuals further understand their own behavioral preferences, and where that reveals strengths and opportunities for development. For intact teams as part of an offsite or other initiatives, assessments also reveal how individual styles interrelate and where that creates opportunities for improvement. We have also used assessments with entire employee populations to establish common language and shared expectations.
Here are assessments we regularly use to help both individuals and teams:
