The culture of an organization is a direct reflection of the personal styles of its leaders. The leaders are the conduit for causing cultural transformation. It takes the leaders being aligned for change to filter throughout an organization. The leaders must be the change the want to see to have the employees follow suit. Leaders set an example by walking the talk and living true to the values. Mapping the values of the leaders provides a starting point to support consistency and transformation.

Organizational transformation begins with

TEAM Performance works directly with your company to support leadership development and transformation with the Leadership Values Assessment and a personalized action plan. The Leadership Values Assessment is a 360-degree feedback instrument that compares a manager's/leader’s perception of his or her operating values against the perception of his or her superior, peers and subordinates.

TEAM Performance also uses the Life Styles Inventory (LSI 1) and (LSI 2). The LSI was developed to help individuals identify their beliefs, behaviors, values and assumptions about themselves. These "styles" of thinking and behavior guide both work-related activities and interpersonal communication. LSI is not a personality index. It's a comprehensive assessment that shows people their strengths and stumbling blocks, and then helps them to change. The results can be utilized to improve performance in such areas as solving problems, making decisions, guiding or participating in teamwork, encouraging growth and promoting innovation.
