Understanding human behaviours and attitudes at work can be difficult and complex. We offer a set of psychometric profiling tools which will help you to understand and maximise human performance at work. Margerison-McCann Team Management Systems (TMS) offer extensively researched and high quality solutions, which will help you to release energies within teams and individuals, enabling them to perform at a higher level. As a result you will have teams that are engaged, motivated and committed to the objectives of the organisation.

This tool will help you to discover what makes a great team, what roles people prefer to play within a team, why they feel motivated by some tasks and not others and where people are most likely to focus their energies. The Team Management Profile lies at the heart of the system and makes individual development the critical first step to effective team development and places both in the context of business results. A rigorously validated questionnaire provides a 5,000 word report which looks at where your motivation lies, how you can best contribute to team success and how you are likely to lead, manage and link with others who may have different perspectives on the world of work. It can be used with team members, managers and leaders, but is at its most powerful when used to build and sustain high energy teams.

Extensive interviews with teams and team leaders throughout the world highlighted some common skills which are essential to integrate the work of individuals and teams. These are People Linking Skills, Task Linking Skills and Leadership Linking Skills. The Linking Skills Profile is a 360-degree feedback instrument that explores the extent to which you “should” and “do” demonstrate the key behaviours for each linking skill. At least 5 respondents, including yourself, complete an online questionnaire which is analysed by expert software to produce a composite Profile giving feedback on all 13 linking skills. Full colour graphics vividly show the range of responses and a comprehensive narrative report offers clear development guidelines.

Are you a glass half full or a glass half empty person? How do you approach risk, opportunity and the unknown? Are you cautious, moderate, optimistic or even reckless? In a climate of ambiguity, do you see opportunities or just gloom? This Profile benchmarks individual orientation on a risk/opportunity scale which adds a “fifth dimension” of understanding to the Team Management Profile. Exploring these new perspectives helps you understand fears and motivations at work, creates significantly greater understanding of those around you and gives you a model for moving forward with a balanced view of the risks and potential rewards. This profile can be used with teams or for personal coaching and explores critical issues around the management of unknowns for the whole team. It is a useful tool to help individuals and teams deal with the uncertainties of change.
