Great blog! Very comprehensive and insi...Hi Hein,<br /><br />Great blog! Very comprehensive and insightful. <br /><br />Yes, you’re right. It’s all about the conversations you have about your Profile, not the Profile per se. Having said that, there are a lot of valuable insights in the Team Management Profile (TMP) which are very useful from a self-awareness & development perspective. But as long as we get you talking about your behaviour at work AND doing something positive about it, then we’re happy. And the TMP is very work focused, which helps a lot. It also stops that stigmatism you mentioned, as this is only about you at work. Of course you’re different at home, or at a party or at your mothers for Sunday lunch. Behaviour is a function of the individual and the situation. So there is no need to generally label people.<br /><br />Also, just to take you up on your point, if I may, there are many advantages to using psychometrics in your learning and development programs. They are that using a valid and reliable psychometric, like the TMP you mentioned: <br />• Saves time and guesswork, by gathering relevant and work focused information that would otherwise take a long time to collect<br />• Is objective and standardized, making it far less personal and subjective, and allowing you to base your conversations & training action plans on objective and standardized data<br />• Provides you with a comprehensive Report to which both management and the learner can refer when required over time, which aids the transfer of learning back to the workplace. It helps stop your program being just a one off event, with little impact in the long term.<br />• Provides a common business language for people to use, to minimize misunderstandings and misinterpretations at work, which again helps the transfer of learning<br /><br />All the best with our programs there Hein. Thanks for your positive feedback. We do hope to be able to assist you again in the future.<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Julie Pigdon<br />Pigdon | Business Development<br />Team Management Systems<br /><br /><br /> <br />P: +61 7 33682333 | F: +61 7 33682311<br />PO Box 1107 | 9 Gardner Close | Milton | QLD | 4064<br />access@tms.com.au | www.tms.com.au | www.tmsoz.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
