Making News at CDR
Even the WALL STREET JOURNAL finds our tools to be the Real Thing…
WALL STREET JOURNAL writer Jared Sandberg reviews his “authentic” experience with our tools compared to two other instruments:
|
|
“At times, the affable Ms. Aldisert (from TTI Performance Systems and Innermetrix) and I appear to have met before: "You can become easily bored." But there are times I simply don't recognize the guy she's talking about: "You have a high capacity to lead others." So why don't my golden retrievers ever listen to a word I say?
|
|
|
Korn Ferry's assessment largely agrees: "You are well suited to a management job," says Gary Hourihan of Korn Ferry.
|
|
|
The Risk Assessment part of CDR's tests reveal the me I most recognize. I scored 100% on hypermoodiness. This means I'm "emotionally unpredictable" (guilty) and expect the worst (guilty). As a leader, I'd create "a tenuous environment where associates have no idea what temperament to expect next." (Isn't that required?)
|
|
|
My second-highest risk was worrier, at 96%. (I have a danger-seeking son and I read the news, what's not to worry about?) As a manager, I might slow staff progress due to reluctance to make a decision. (That hasn't stopped anyone before me.)
|
|
|
Lastly, CDR tested leadership energy. I scored an abysmally low 6%. That and my low competitiveness grade explains the conclusion of CDR's Nancy Parsons. She breaks it to me gently: "Not everyone should be in a leadership role."
|
|
|
That puts me, or us, on the list of millions.”
