Our clients improve their performance by knowing and managing their Attitudes.We provide the wake-up call.This “wheel” summarises 8 common areas where our clients have used TopDec® to better their performance.

Ⓡ

“Attitude Work” is any endeavour you undertake driven by knowledge about your Attitudes.

Using TopDec® is all about improving performance: saving time and money by:

•empowering individual or team effectiveness

•reducing risk through better-informed decision making and intervention design

•making sub-cultures self aware and bringing them into alignment

Every executive has a unique profile of experience, competency, ambition, motivation and ego. A team is not a team until all of these can become aligned towards the same mission.TopDec bypasses the ego and provides a neutral, common language for the group to construct their mutual mission and personal development practices.

Being in a process of self knowledge is a critical skill for great leaders because they rapidly adapt their thinking, approach and communication, based on feedback from their surroundings.TopDec® provides detailed and easily digested feedback, which cost-effectively enhances any coaching or mentoring process.

Most mergers or acquisition fail to deliver value and even destroy it.The biggest cause: cultural mismatch.A TopDec® survey of at least the top two strata in the two organisations will instantly show where the harmonies and discords are.Leaders can then make a better “Go/No go” decision or make a better project design.

Create a benchmark of of the people in the organisation to whom you want others to aspire. This is your cultural benchmark.Compare your candidates and shortlist them based on closest cultural fit, using TopDec®’s candidate comparison functions.Not only will you get a “right-hire” but it will take much less time.

There is no better tool in conflict resolution than metaphorically taking a good look in the mirror.TopDec® feedback will allow the parties to know themselves better using neutral, standardised language and bring them to a closer acceptance of the other.Conflict resolvers will have a tool for better mediation because of a better understanding of the parties.

The true impact of a training programme is whether the hoped-for Attitudes that apply the taught knowledge over time continue to be applied. With periodic TopDec® surveys, not only do students and teachers benefit from higher self-awareness, but educators can see if the desired Attitudes are enduring and make adjustments to their programmes.

Operational staff, armed with self-knowledge gained from TopDec®’s individual and team feedback reports, and maybe participating in a peer-peer or coaching programme, make better decisions because they have the tools to notice negative changes in their Attitudes and impact and do something about it. This reduces risks and increases effectiveness.

A TopDec® survey carried out on a population will show trends in Attitudes across any sub-groups. The Change Leader can see the development of resistances and risk factors, and devise suitably tuned interventions, which will reduce the risk of destructive behaviours, saving time and money.
