Pulse•Points® Leadership Profile is a three-part tool to better understand work styles, leadership orientations, and motivators… your own and others’ work-related preferences.

It is a self-assessment profile that:

• Highlights preferred work behaviors in normal and stressed situations
• Identifies key intrinsic work motivators
• Provides a template for the individual to better self-manage and self-motivate in the work culture
• Establishes a common platform for needs, wants and expectations at work
• Enhances effective task and team performance

Some people are more comfortable working with others “just like them.” Others seek out people that are opposite. In either case, it is important to understand where people are similar and how they are different at work. This understanding increases trust, opens communication & binds mutual commitment to results.

The Pulse•Points® Person-Person Match provides a view of the similarities and differences between two people in a work relationship, i.e., boss-subordinate, co-workers. It is a comparison of behavioral styles, work orientations and motivators based on individual self-impressions data.

Work teams are made up of people with varied knowledge, skills, abilities, preferences, and motivators. It is the similarities and differences consciously working together that create business breakthroughs, effectively solve problems, constructively manage conflict and generate the greatest points of synergy.

The Pulse•Points® Teamatch provides an overall view of a team's collective work behaviors and motivators. It is a composite of team members' self-impressions and work preferences.
