Business Depends On Effective People Connections
Whether you work in a two-person business or a multi-national conglomerate, the process of doing business connects people to people: supervisors to their staffs, departments to one another, customers to sales and service people, manufacturers to their suppliers and distributors, and branch offices to corporate offices. Without the ability of people to connect to other people, there would be no business. The primary currency of connecting people together is communications.
Experts identify poor communications as one of the largest obstacles to business success in corporate America today. When people in business fail to communicate effectively, misunderstandings arise, expectations are not met, and dysfunctional relationships result. There is an old parable that illustrates how something as small as a single failed communication might impact an organization: For the want of a nail [a single effective communication], a shoe was lost. For want of a shoe, a horse was lost. For want of a horse, a rider was lost. For want of a rider, a battle was lost. For want of a battle, the war was lost. All for the want of a nail. Could your organization benefit from improved communications?

Use the Personal Profile System® to Improve Communications
Have you ever found yourself asking, "Why do I get along so well with some people but not with others, no matter how hard I try?" The foundation of personal and professional success lies in understanding yourself, understanding others, and realizing the impact of personal behavior on others. For nearly thirty years, the Personal Profile System® has unlocked the door to productive communications and relationships for over
40 million people through its DiSC® Dimensions of Behavior learning approach.
The Personal Profile System is a highly flexible learning instrument that helps individuals assess to what degree they utilize different dimensions of behavior in work-related situations. The instrument then provides feedback designed to help people:

Use the Innovate With C.A.R.E. Profile® to Improve Planning, Problem-Solving and Project Management Skills
Do employees in your company struggle with planning or problem-solving? Have you ever thought, "Why can't this team get anything done?" Successful people who work together don't all do the same thing at the same time. They do the right thing at the right time. And while team members work together toward a common goal, individuals still must play their separate roles in the process. As organizations rely more and more on individuals and teams to innovate, problem solve, produce, and compete at the speed of change, clearly understanding and capitalizing on individual approaches to group processes is the bottom line for creating high-performance teams.
The Innovate With C.A.R.E. Profile® will help you to identify the planning, problem-solving and project management strengths and weaknesses of each member of your staff so that you are able to enhance team performance by capitalizing on each person's strengths. The Innovate With C.A.R.E. Profile® helps to:
- identify individual strengths and approaches to teamwork
- clarify team members' roles
- reinforce the contributions of every team member
- reduce project cycle time and increase productivity
- foster mutual support
- enhance organizational performance
Over ten years of research have gone into the Innovate With C.A.R.E. Profile® to make it a reliable, easy-to-administer and highly flexible tool. Whether part of an integrated training program or a stand-alone assessment tool, the Innovate With C.A.R.E. Profile® can assist your company in becoming more effective in the areas of planning, problem-solving and project management. Innovate With Care® is available in several forms: individual profiles, complete facilitator's kits, or formatted for integration into your company's training program. Boyer Management Group can help you design and implement an approach that is just right for your organization.
Identify Specific Leadership
Needs and Assess Individual Leadership Styles with the Dimensions of Leadership
Profile®
Leadership
is necessary in any group or organization. Groups may have a single leader
who is capable of performing several different leadership roles, or multiple
leaders may appear to handle different leadership functions. Some group
members may choose not to lead, but are interested in helping to select the
group's leader(s). However, not all leaders have formal authority, and
some are found in humble positions. What all leaders have in common is
that others recognize the value of their contributions and choose to follow
them.
The most effective leaders are the ones who know themselves, recognize the
needs of specific situations and then adapt their approach to maximize success
in that particular situation. The Dimensions of Leadership Profile®
helps individuals identify their own preferred leadership styles and roles, the
ones in which they excel and will find the greatest chances of consistent
success.
Dimensions of Leadership also identifies the leadership needs of particular
situations in which organizations and business find themselves, from new
business start-up mode through rapid growth through mature company. Since
each phase of growth of a company or organization calls for different leadership
styles in order to maximize its effectiveness, Dimensions of Leadership
will help your company or organization match the leadership role with the
available leaders within or outside the organization.

Adventures in Attitudes®
- a guided program to transform negative attitudes into positive actions to enhance employee and customer relationships. Employee attitude is increasingly cited as the number one performance-related issue for companies, both large and small. Coping with continuous change of downsized, team-oriented, and increasingly diverse workplaces has left many people confused, fearful, and sometimes angry. As attitudes deteriorate, so do commitment, loyalty and performance. Adventures in Attitudes® can help turn your employees' attitudes around. Join over four million people who have experienced this life-changing program.
Coping & Stress Profile®
- To avoid the peaks and valleys in productivity created by high stress levels, you need employees who know how to balance the urgent demands of work life and personal life. Even when things are going smoothly, the cumulative effects of day-to-day stressors affect the way people behave. The Coping & Stress Profile® is a unique learning instrument that connects stress and coping in four life areas: personal, work, couple and family. Learners gain important insights into how stress in one area impacts other areas, how coping resources in one area impacts other areas, how coping resources in one area can be used to decrease stress in another, and how stress, coping resources, and overall satisfaction are closely related.
Dimensions of Leadership Profile® - Collapsing organizational hierarchies and increasing workforce diversity has dramatically altered people's understanding of leadership. Leadership is no longer seen as a single role atop the business pyramid, but as a relationship between leaders and followers. Today, leaders come in many varieties, from charismatic visionaries to quiet team players. Leadership is understood in its multiple dimensions, with leaders and followers interchanging roles as situations demand.

Discovering Diversity Profile® - Our increasingly diverse society is reflected in growing workforce diversity. Leading organizations acknowledge that working successfully with others who don't share the same background, beliefs, or traditions is a top priority in today's workplace. Employees need help in assessing their behavior toward people who are different from themselves. And they must understand the benefits of changing negative attitudes and resistance into appreciation and cooperation. Designed to help individuals look honestly at themselves to identify attitudes and behavior that stand in the way of teamwork, the Discovering Diversity Profile® provides a safe way to explore the complex, powerful issues surrounding diversity.
Innovate With C.A.R.E. Profile®
- Successful team members don't do the same thing at the same time. They do the right thing at the right time. And while team members work together toward a common goal, individuals still must play their individual roles in the process. As organizations rely more and more on teams to innovate, problem solve, produce, and compete at the speed of change, clearly understanding and capitalizing on individual approaches to group processes is the bottom line for creating high performance teams.
Managing Work Expectations - Transforming Attitudes - Work expectations are those things people consider likely to happen in their job situation, either now or in the future. Whether spoken or unspoken, met or unmet, expectations have a powerful impact on thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and play a key role in driving attitudes. Research shows that people who have clearly defined, well-communicated expectations find greater satisfaction and success in their work than people whose expectations go unspoken or unrealized. Companies that employ satisfied, successful people reap the rewards of increased productivity and reduced turnover.
Personal Profile System® - The foundation of personal and professional success lies in understanding yourself, understanding others, and realizing the impact of personal behavior on others. For nearly thirty years, the Personal Profile System® has unlocked the door to productive communication and relationships for over
