"I recently had the pleasure of facilitating the Team Management Profile for a team I am a part of. The sessions gave us a common language and allowed us to better align around the types of work we should be focusing on in order to drive impactful change in the organization. Yes, our time together helped us understand each other on a different level, but it was the visual representation of our preferences combined with what types of work we want to focus on that allowed us to create a practical approach to working together more effectively moving forward."

"The benefits of the Team Management Profile are for everyone in a workplace - individuals for self-awareness and professional growth, teams to learn and grow together and for organisations to create high performing, connected and engaged teams. The TMP is a lifelong learning approach that evolves with you on your career journey."

"We have been using TMS Profiles in our organization for four years and we have found them very valuable for increasing the effectiveness of our work teams. We have used the Team Management Profile with over 500 employees, and now TMS terminology is part of our vocabulary when we set up new project teams"
Kevin Nash - Director, Employee Development, Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
"The TMS Accreditation Workshop was very practical and equipped me with the information and confidence to be able to facilitate the Team Management Profile. So far I have found this tool to be great in assisting with team development, with staff gaining an insight into the different preferences and how best to pace team members, given where they sit on the Wheel. I have also been impressed by the on-going support TMS give their members, which is a terrific resource to tap into."
Stephanie Roberts - Training & Development Consultant, BT Financial Group
"I have successfully used the Linking Skills Profile as a leadership development tool over the last 7 years. The 360 degree feedback which is based on observable behaviors makes it invaluable for identifying strengths and areas for improvement."
Peter Martini - Corporate Outdoor Training
"I have learned from the Team Management Wheel to appreciate diversity... that different styles and preferences can actually enhance what you are working to improve. By tolerating and appreciating these different styles, I more easily seek to understand others. From a business perspective, being able to relate to and understand individuals better helps me in my work."
Phil Owen - Human Resource Manager, NESTLE USA
"The QO2TM is a powerful tool in helping team members understand others approach to risk taking and openness to new ideas. When selecting climbing partners the QO2TM really comes to the fore especially when one climber has a 1.5 and his climbing buddy is a 5.4 as actually happened on the summit bid for Everest."
Bob Killip & Zac Zaharias - Everest Expedition 2001
"The TMS Accreditation Workshop was invaluable. Our trainer tailored the three-day one-on-one course to suit my needs and my learning style, and he paced my understanding of the topics very well. No chance to daydream though! I had to run my first workshop the day following my training. I felt very confident with the content and the presentation."
Fiona Tuohy - Associate Human Resource Manager, Johnson & Johnson Medical
"TMS provides instruments that help a person pilot through one's career journey. It raises awareness on work preferences serving as guiding lights in job realization. Also, the instruments permit better navigation through organizational turbulence and maybe a salutary change of course resulting in a happier landing on the organizational field."
Michel Marsan PhD, MBA Program Director, UQAT, Canada
"The Personal Team Management Profile is easy to use, easy to interpret, and has lasting value for our teams. Our team members and leaders USE IT to help solve real issues with teammates and key stakeholders."
Joan Guilkey - Senior OD Consultant, GlaxoSmithKline Inc.
"Over the past ten years I have used the Linking Skills Profile Questionnaire with middle and senior managers in a wide range of public sector organizations. The overwhelming response from those managers is that the Profile provides a wealth of practical and detailed feedback against which they can compare their self perceptions. Furthermore, it provides a great platform from which to open continuing discussions with their managers, peers and staff for their ongoing development as effective managers."
Paul Jones - Paul Jones & Associates
"I have seen teams benefit from the insights they get from the Team Management Profile over a 15 year period. Newly formed teams get a "kick start" and existing ones are able to pinpoint their strengths and missing elements in just one day or less."

"I'd seen the Wheel used a few times in team development workshops and had been impressed with the resonance it had with participants, so unfolding the Model at the Accreditation Workshop really increased my respect for the rigor behind it. The facilitators, Stewart Mitchell and Ian Gillies, made the sessions fun and challenging and shared their considerable insights into the tools and their application. We're using the Model in team development and performance development and find a new respect for individual differences is emerging."
Joe Thorp - General Manager Workplace Development, Seeley International Pty Ltd
"Have you ever been working with a team or individual, maybe used some psychometric tools and your diagnosis or suggested strategy still seems unable to fully explain or manage why an individual can not rise to the challenge before them, or why a team is perhaps unable to let go of ineffective ways of doing things or alternatively, unable to learn from its mistakes. I have and having the QO2TM in the kit has helped me in my diagnosis and my clients in their practice"
Barry Knights - Barry Knights Consulting
"The Team Management Profile Questionnaire provides a simple language, the business managers own language, to help a team talk about and so take action on the often 'soft' issues of building a stronger team. Many clients and their teams like data, hard data about 'soft issues', and the various instruments provide an easy way to do that. The TMS tools are connected together so you can help a leadership team in a variety of ways, according to the need, without having to introduce a new language and tools every time. For the non-clinical practitioner, TMS provides robust tools, with a solid research foundation that I can use with confidence with clients. I might not be able to do 'surgery' on personalities, but I can do fitness programs for individuals and teams which is mostly all that is required."
Chris Houston - Change Alliance
"I have found TMS to be one of the most customer-focused companies that I have worked with in many years. The support that has been afforded me has not changed over the years even though I no longer work for a major corporation - but rather am the CEO and principal trainer of my own company. As a professional development trainer I exclusively use and champion the Team Management Profile whenever and however possible. This Profile far exceeds what several other instruments provide and as my Coaching and Training business grows so will my use of the this developmental tool."
Cherryl Schley - Career Coach and Trainer, Hidden Treasures Coaching & Training LLC
"During the 4-day Accreditation Workshop I attended, the facilitators were excellent in delivering the information clearly and in a well-organized manner. There was plenty of opportunity for sharing experiences, and also time for having a laugh! I felt the four days were well-paced and there was always time to ask questions. Using the material provided at the TMS Workshop, I was able to facilitate the Team Roles session of my leadership program successfully, and the feedback from participants was very positive. Thanks to TMS for a very professional and stimulating workshop!"
Rosemary Wealthy, Manager - Leadership Development, People & Organisation, Ericsson Australia P/L
"In our work of enhancing team performance, we have found the issue of diversity to be a critical hinge factor which will determine the long term success of a team. Diversity will either bring the team to its knees or be its greatest asset, depending on whether team members: a) understand, b) value, and c) manage their diversity. We have found the Team Management Profile to be the most powerful, yet user friendly tool in ensuring teams address these three critical issues successfully."
Ron Jungalwalla - Managing Director, Quest Group Australia P/L
"In my previous role, I was able to use the QO2TM Profile to gain useful insights into the ways Sales and Customer Service Staff reacted to external influences, how they addressed challenging customers and noting the type of development needs they required. Feedback from staff who had been profiled was very positive; I look forward to using it in my compendium of tools to understand staff and look forward to using it again."
