Bringing TMBC's strengths workshop to our company totally changed the way we look at our People Development and Talent Review processes. Attending the workshop has not only help me implement a strengths-based culture within the company; it has also completely changed the way I operate personally and the way I lead and coach my own team.
TMBC's strengths program provided my organization with a new and unique platform to approach development planning. The result was a more engaged organization. An unexpected benefit for our team, aside from the personal learning and development, was the team-building that occurred as a result of the program. StandOut Assessment
In Short:
StandOut is for people who want an assessment that takes what it has learned about them and tells them which specific innovations and techniques make the most of their innate strengths.
You need this tool if...
You're tired of assessments that claim to tell you who you are, but don't tell you what you can do with that information. StandOut analyzes who you are, all right, but it does so with a purpose: it goes beyond describing your strengths and lets you know exactly how you can make the most of them.
Food for thought:
"What if we're all, when it comes to our genius, our unique combination of strengths, the equivalent of five-year-olds: using them, if at all, haphazardly and without any real sense of purpose and direction? Despite the fact that your genius—your particular combination of strengths—is deeply a part of who you are, it is exceedingly challenging to understand it, take control of it, and make it work for you. The most basic challenge, of course, is that it's hard to see your own uniqueness. And though your genius is ingrained, the right way to channel it is not."
Customizing StandOut:
StandOut can become even more powerful when recommendations for each of the 9 strength Roles also take into account the best practices specific to your organization. Read more about customizing StandOut.
TMBC will study your top performers to identify best practices for each of the 9 strength Roles based on any number of positions in your organization. Here's how it works:
- The 50 top performers per position will be invited to take the standard version of StandOut for the purpose of identifying their top strength Roles.
- 9 participants (one per strength Role) will be identified for interviews to learn about practices that work well for them in their positions.
- There is no advance preparation needed by those being interviewed other than being prepared to discuss what works best in doing their jobs.
- Each position will include 9 interviews lasting approximately 45 minutes each.
The practical innovations captured in the study will then be woven into the StandOut results received by everyone in your organization who takes the assessment. In a sense, your people will receive practical tips and techniques that are "double customized" — tailor made from the best practices of people in the same position who have the same top 2 strength Roles.
