Improve your performance and your team’s performance through 360˚ feedback.

What are 360˚ assessments?

• They are tools that enhance learning and behavioral change to create stronger performance of individuals. There are many on the market that you can research. We at CTAT, LLC are working with 4-D Systems’ 360 tool. This tool allows for both individual development assessment as well as a team development assessment.
• 4-D Systems has started to call their assessments, “accelerators” because they really do help people make changes they want to make that improve their work life and, we’ve found, their personal lives as well.
• With CTAT, LLC, the assessment and associated coaching process is a safe, engaging, and even fun process by which each person and team experiences the power of opportunity to make their own lives and the lives of others better and more productive.
• It is important to know that these assessments (or accelerators) are NOT performance reviews – they are confidential assessments that help individuals and teams to develop their performance.

About 4-D Systems’ 360 Accelerator:

• It has been successfully used at most NASA Centers around the country and in many organizations in the US and in countries around the world. 4-D Systems has learned and evolved their process while helping approximately 2000 teams over the last 20 years.
• 4-D Systems was founded by Charlie Pellerin, PhD, former head of Astrophysics at NASA. He describes his discoveries and processes for helping teams in his book, How NASA Builds Teams. He is a long time personal and professional friend of CTAT, LLC’s associate, Debra Whitehead. You can learn more about Charlie and 4-D Systems at www.4-DSystems.com or google his book title.

What does the 4-D “accelerator” do?

• It assesses 8 key behaviors that critically impact individual and team performance.
• Along with coaching, it provides a safe way to hear what people are already thinking about you and/or the team, providing each person with the opportunity to become better understood and to perform at higher levels.
• With re-assessments, you have the opportunity to see a record of your feedback over time.

Participants will engage in a discussion via an active, experiential, and fun format that focuses on enhancing communication between various generations. By bridging generation gaps, participants are encouraged to honor one another and respect differences. This in turn will create awareness, reduce stress, and promote productive relationships both professionally and personally. This session is for those who have experienced conflict and misunderstanding with those of other generations and those who want to expand their “diversity” consciousness and understanding of four generations at work and outside work.

Outcomes:

Participants will discuss and ultimately understand:

• Differences between the four generations
• Generational preferences and communication styles
• The connection between miscommunication among today’s multi-generational workplace and productivity/employee engagement
• The different strengths and perspectives each generation brings to each other and in the workplace

Additional learning points will be integrated into this session by our seasoned CTAT, LLC facilitators.This workshop can be customized for intact teams by integrating feedback/input from leader and participants prior to session.
