Team Management Profile (TMP)
Building Capable Teams: COLLABORATE
The Team Management Profile (TMP) is a robust feedback tool used for personal, team, and leadership development, forming a core part of the TMS suite of psychometric profiles. Focused on learning and constructive feedback, TMP aids individuals in understanding their work styles and developing strategies for better collaboration. It provides a common language for teams, allowing members to recognise each other's strengths and improve overall performance.
The TMP framework, influenced by situational leadership theory, views work through combined models of people and processes, offering a comprehensive perspective on 'People at Work'. This approach facilitates the creation of action plans tailored to individual, team, and organisational needs. TMP supports personal development by offering self-knowledge and strategies to enhance performance. At the team level, TMP Advanced Reports foster discussions on work preferences and team dynamics, promoting high performance. By aligning work preferences with job demands, TMP energises teams, increasing commitment and motivation, essential for building high-performing teams.
Opportunities-Obstacles Quotient (QO2) Profile
Building Capable Teams: CALIBRATE
The Opportunities-Obstacles Quotient (QO2) Profile is a distinctive tool that assesses how people balance their focus on opportunities and obstacles, shaping their risk approach. It enhances team dynamics by promoting a balance between optimism and caution, aiding individuals in managing their responses to change, and fostering better communication and collaboration through understanding each team member's risk orientation. This is particularly valuable during organisational transformations, helping leaders tailor their change management strategies to ensure team members are supported and engaged.
The QO2 Profile also contributes to building team resilience by highlighting areas for growth and offering strategies to bolster this trait. By combining insights from risk orientation and action orientation, QO2 provides a comprehensive view of team attitudes towards work. This understanding helps leaders improve decision-making, problem-solving, and goal clarification, thereby enhancing the team's overall performance and competitive advantage. To access QO2, individuals can engage accredited practitioners or become accredited themselves, gaining valuable insights through a detailed report and debriefing sessions.
Window on Work Values (WoWV) Profile
Building Capable Teams: ALIGN
The Window on Work Values (WoWV) Profile is an in-depth tool aimed at improving individual and team performance by aligning personal work values with organisational goals. It measures eight core value types: Individualism, Collectivism, Authority, Equality, Compliance, Empowerment, Independence, and Conformity. By providing a detailed analysis of these values, WoWV helps individuals and teams gain a deeper understanding of their motivations and behaviours, enhancing team dynamics and personal development.
The WoWV Profile assists in identifying how personal values influence work behaviour and how they align with organisational values. This alignment is crucial for preventing conflicts, disengagement, and poor performance. Once the core values are understood, teams can develop their own Team Values Statement and Team Charter, fostering a cohesive and motivated work environment. To utilise WoWV, individuals can engage with accredited practitioners or become accredited themselves, gaining valuable insights through detailed reports and debriefing sessions.
Linking Leader Profile (LLP|360)
Building Capable Leaders: LEAD
The Team Management Systems (TMS) perspective on leadership underscores the significance of relationships. Excellent leaders focus on monitoring and developing these relationships within their teams, ensuring this approach permeates the entire organisation. The concept of Linking identifies 13 essential Linking Skills necessary for integrating the work of individuals and teams effectively. These skills are divided into three levels: People Linking, Task Linking, and Leadership Linking, which together ensure sustainable high performance.
The Linking Leader Profile (LLP|360) measures these skills, providing valuable insights for leadership development. People Linking Skills foster a strong team environment through alignment and trust. Task Linking Skills address the core tasks of the team, crucial for those managing team performance. At the heart of the model are the Leadership Linking Skills, focusing on transformational leadership. Integrating the LLP|360 with established theories such as Transformational and Situational Leadership, it enhances leadership programs by providing a comprehensive understanding of leadership behaviours. To access the LLP|360, individuals can engage accredited practitioners or become accredited themselves, benefiting from detailed reports and debrief sessions.
