Assessment tools are commonly used in organizational behavior management to identify performance targets, determine environmental variables contributing to poor performance, and create a framework for moving forward. Strategic Talent Management uses a variety of assessment tools to help employees and organizations identify strengths and blind spots, become more self-aware, and uncover opportunities for teams to work together more effectively. 

Assessment tools for individual or team assessments:

• Gallup's Clifton Strengths (previously known as StrengthFinder) - Individual or manager assessments. Learn how to use your strengths to succeed at work and live your best possible life.

• Emotional Intelligence (EI) – Assess you or your team’s ability to be aware of our own and others’ emotions and  in the moment, and learn how to use that information to manage ourselves and our relationships.

• Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) - Helps individuals develop and build self-awareness and enable teams work better together.

• DISC® Profile - Individual or team assessments. Helps individuals and organizations to understand personal behaviors that impact communications.

• True Colors® - Gain a better understanding of yourself and others based on your personality temperament. 

• 360° Feedback - Compares individual results to those of other typically  from bosses, colleagues, clients, peers, and direct reports.

Assessments are most effective when combined with coaching and action planning, and having an external party lead these assessments. The output of these assessments is that employees, teams, and leaders can identify their strengths, find development areas, build a stronger connection to their work, and ultimately reach their full potential.
