SET CLEAR EXPECTATIONS

The Job Scorecard™

Does everyone on your team know what success looks like in their seat?

Think of it as your Accountability Chart on steroids. The Job Scorecard™ takes the roles for each seat, filled or open, and builds out the whole job: three to five accountability categories with the activities, time, priority and success factors behind each one, in your own words.

Sample Job Scorecard for a Project Manager at a fictional company

  • Everyone knows the seat. Why the seat exists, where the time goes, and what matters most.
  • Same page, every quarter. Every quarterly conversation starts with yes-or-no success factors instead of opinions.
  • Leaders let go. Of the work they should be overseeing, not doing.
DRIVE ACCOUNTABILITY

The Performance Acceleration Tracker™

How much of last quarter's conversation do you actually remember?

The Performance Acceleration Tracker™ runs the quarterly conversation between every leader and direct report: the scorecard, the ratings, the notes in between, and a permanent record of every conversation.

The quarterly conversation on one screen in The Performance Acceleration Tracker, sample data

  • Nobody walks in surprised. Both sides capture notes as things happen, and both see them before you sit down.
  • Ratings, not opinions. Yes, incomplete or no, against success factors you already agreed on.
  • A coach for the conversation. The TMG-trained AI Review Advisor knows both people's behavioral styles and the full scorecard history, and coaches you on how to have the conversation.
SOLVE PEOPLE ISSUES

The Hiring Decision Platform™

Are you hiring the person who interviews best, or the person the job needs?

The Hiring Decision Platform™ defines the seat before anyone is interviewed, then measures every finalist against it side by side, with a fit rating, the gaps behind it, and the questions that test them.

Sample comparison of finalists for an Operations Manager role at a fictional company

  • No more debate about who interviewed best. Four sciences in one rating: behavioral style, culture fit, emotional intelligence and critical thinking.
  • Questions written for each candidate's gaps. Every finalist gets their own interview sheet, aimed at exactly what their results flagged.
  • Answers while you decide. The TMG-trained AI Metiss Advisor answers your questions about the results in real time.
LEAD WITH CONFIDENCE

The Visionary-Integrator Catalyst™

What will your Visionary stop doing the day the Integrator starts?

For the two seats at the top. The Visionary-Integrator Catalyst™ defines both seats, hires the right Integrator, and coaches the partnership for a full year, so the Integrator stays in the seat.

Sample Visionary and Integrator scorecards and the 40 percent versus 90 percent Integrator retention comparison

  • The Visionary's seat comes first. Knowing what the Visionary hands over is what lets the Integrator succeed.
  • The team is bought in before day one. Your leadership team helps define the Integrator seat, so everyone knows who to go to for what.
  • A full year on track. Twelve months of coaching and quarterly conversations keep the partnership on course.
