What is Your Style Under Stress?

All of us respond to pressure in different ways. When faced with a challenging situation (or person), we may have a tendency to become aggressive or we may tend to go silent. Either extreme is sure to deny us the result we want. Our Style Under Stress self assessment will help you understand your current default behaviors and what you can do to become more effective.

Evaluate the Effectiveness of Your Team

We all know the value of good teamwork. And most of us know what happens when a group of people is a “team” in name only. Our Team Effectiveness Quiz will provide a clear ranking of your team and highlight some of the behaviors that work in its favor and some of the behaviors that serve as roadblocks to better performance.

High or Low Trust? 

Trust is the “operating system” of your organization. When trust is low, you and your colleagues pay a “tax.” Everything goes slower and costs most. When trust is high, you receive a “dividend” because work goes faster and costs less. Trust is not simply a nice-to-have character trait. Trust is a competency that can be taught, learned, and reinforced. Our Speed of Trust Quiz will provide valuable clues on the trust taxes and dividends in your organization.

Replace Fake Work with Real Work 

In almost every organization you can find sincere people doing well-intended work that doesn’t really contribute to strategic objectives. We call this “fake work.” You know what it can look like: poorly run meetings, conversations that lead nowhere, projects that look good on paper but don’t really add value, reports that take hours to prepare but are barely (if ever) even read. Our Fake Work Quiz can help raise the alarms on the fake work being done in your organization, and provide important clues on how to replace it with Real Work.

Are You Change-Friendly? 

What’s so friendly about change? Often not much, and that’s the point. Change takes us out of our comfort zones and produces stress. It’s often stress that people resist, not the change itself. Success with change requires skills with the “people stuff” like honest dialogue, earning and keeping trust, and collaborating in ways that foster enthusiasm, ingenuity, and real synergy. Our Change-Friendly Quiz provides important clues on your organization’s readiness for change.
