Testimonials

"The TMS instruments support workplace effectiveness in terms of team diversity and dynamics. Its toolsets support individual and group awareness and the development of high performance teams. Use of TMS tools helps you understand that diversity is more than what you see on the outside; it is also on the inside. A team is a mosaic of diverse people and preferences; in appreciating and in managing the team, one must see the strengths of the individuals in the team and appreciate balance of the composition of the team. Therein lies the artwork!"
Lynn Puhr
Sears, Roebuck and Co.

"Our consulting company helps senior people learn to manage processes and lead staff. The most valuable tool we've found that helps describe personal preferences and details the actual demands of a job, is the Types of Work Profile. Very user friendly, lots of long term benefit."

"I have successfully used the Linking Skills Profile as a leadership development tool over the last 7 years. The 360 degree feedback which is based on observable behaviors makes it invaluable for identifying strengths and areas for improvement."
Peter Martini

"I have learned from the Team Management Wheel to appreciate diversity... that different styles and preferences can actually enhance what you are working to improve. By tolerating and appreciating these different styles, I more easily seek to understand others. From a business perspective, being able to relate to and understand individuals better helps me in my work."
Phil Owen
Human Resource Manager

"The QO₂^TM is a powerful tool in helping team members understand others approach to risk taking and openness to new ideas. When selecting climbing partners the QO₂^TM really comes to the fore especially when one climber has a 1.5 and his climbing buddy is a 5.4 as actually happened on the summit bid for Everest."
Bob Killip & Zac Zaharias

"TMS provides instruments that help a person pilot through one's career journey. It raises awareness on work preferences serving as guiding lights in job realization. Also, the instruments permit better navigation through organizational turbulence and maybe a salutary change of course resulting in a happier landing on the organizational field."

"The Personal Team Management Profile is easy to use, easy to interpret, and has lasting value for our teams. Our team members and leaders USE IT to help solve real issues with teammates and key stakeholders."
Joan Guilkey
Senior OD Consultant
GlaxoSmithKline Inc.

"Over the past ten years I have used the Linking Skills Profile Questionnaire with middle and senior managers in a wide range of public sector organizations. The overwhelming response from those managers is that the Profile provides a wealth of practical and detailed feedback against which they can compare their self perceptions. Furthermore, it provides a great platform from which to open continuing discussions with their managers, peers and staff for their ongoing development as effective managers."
Paul Jones

"I have seen teams benefit from the insights they get from the Team Management Profile over a 15 year period. Newly formed teams get a "kick start" and existing ones are able to pinpoint their strengths and missing elements in just one day or less."
Joan Davidson-Scheer,
Joan Davidson-Scheer Consulting

"Have you ever been working with a team or individual, maybe used some psychometric tools and your diagnosis or suggested strategy still seems unable to fully explain or manage why an individual can not rise to the challenge before them, or why a team is perhaps unable to let go of ineffective ways of doing things or alternatively, unable to learn from its mistakes. I have and having the QO₂^TM in the kit has helped me in my diagnosis and my clients in their practice"
Barry Knights
Barry Knights Consulting

"The Team Management Profile Questionnaire provides a simple language, the business managers own language, to help a team talk about and so take action on the often 'soft' issues of building a stronger team. Many clients and their teams like data, hard data about 'soft issues', and the various instruments provide an easy way to do that. The TMS tools are connected together so you can help a leadership team in a variety of ways, according to the need, without having to introduce a new language and tools every time. For the non-clinical practitioner, TMS provides robust tools, with a solid research foundation that I can use with confidence with clients. I might not be able to do 'surgery' on personalities, but I can do fitness programs for individuals and teams which is mostly all that is required."
Chris Houston

"The Influencing Skills Profile helps people to understand each other and provides triggers to help facilitate the relationship. I find that the areas covered provide people with an understanding of how to best communicate and build the relationship."
Colin Howe
Colin Howe Consulting

"I have found TMS to be one of the most customer-focused companies that I have worked with in many years. The support that has been afforded me has not changed over the years even though I no longer work for a major corporation - but rather am the CEO and principal trainer of my own company. As a professional development trainer I exclusively use and champion the Team Management Profile whenever and however possible. This Profile far exceeds what several other instruments provide and as my Coaching and Training business grows so will my use of the this developmental tool."
Cherryl Schley
Career Coach and Trainer
Hidden Treasures Coaching & Training LLC

"While each of the TMS instruments provide great, practical information on their own, it is the system of instruments that really build into a lasting and value added source of data for my clients. Using a combination of the instruments provides a framework and language where a very broad range of organizational issues can be tackled."
Tom Gibbons

Pathways and Crossroads Consulting Inc.

"In our work of enhancing team performance, we have found the issue of diversity to be a critical hinge factor which will determine the long term success of a team. Diversity will either bring the team to its knees or be its greatest asset, depending on whether team members: a) understand, b) value, and c) manage their diversity. We have found the Team Management Profile to be the most powerful, yet user friendly tool in ensuring teams address these three critical issues successfully."
Ron Jungalwalla
Managing Director
Quest Group Australia P/L

"In my previous role, I was able to use the QO₂^TM Profile to gain useful insights into the ways Sales and Customer Service Staff reacted to external influences, how they addressed challenging customers and noting the type of development needs they required. Feedback from staff who had been profiled was very positive; I look forward to using it in my compendium of tools to understand staff and look forward to using it again."
