Emma Holderness - Facilitator

I work with Catapult to help leaders understand themselves and their environment. I have used TMP with a wide variety of agencies, both public and private sector, and have run both group and individual debriefs on the LBP 360. I truly enjoy seeing people gain insights into their colleagues, and the 'aha' moments that take place.

Deborah Ross

Director

Deborah became accredited in the TMP tool over 10 years ago and uses the tool to help teams and individuals understand their profiles across a diverse range of industries and roles.

As a Director of BartonRoss Ltd, Deborah offers TMP workshops as stand alone sessions, or as a session with strategic planning days. Either way, the sessions are practical, and fun, incorporating principles of high performance teams.

Teams are encouraged to commit to individual and team actions that, if applied, will enhance the performance and lift engagement across the team.

We're here to provoke fresh thinking and create new futures. How? By bringing fresh ideas and thought leadership to the work we do with individuals, teams and organisations.

We're accredited in the full range of TMS assessments. They're sound and insightful. And they form the start of all-important conversations people need to have with themselves and then with others.

We bring a strong voice and encourage others to develop theirs. We continually raise the bar and make sure others do so too. We're fresh and edgy and encourage others to take on new ideas and ways of working.

Kate Thompson

Consultant

Kate is an independent HR consultant and coach with a background in HR management and a keen focus on helping people to understand their strengths and finding ways to use them more.

Kate has been running TMP workshops for a number of years and particularly enjoys the lightbulb moments when team mates find their TMP “twins” and “opposites” and start to understand what that means in a team context for communication and simply getting things done. She has also worked with over 30 managers for de-briefing and follow up coaching on Leadership Behaviours Profiles.

Kate is an IECL (level 1 and 2) accredited coach and is currently studying for a Diploma in Positive Psychology and Wellbeing.

Belinda Slement - Member Development Manager

Surf Life Saving New Zealand is a not-for-profit organisation and the national association representing 74 Surf Life Saving Clubs. Today a little over 18,000 people are members of SLSNZ that save over 1300 lives every year. Providing beach patrols on 80 of New Zealand's busiest beaches each summer is just part of what we do. Being a proactive lifesaving service, sporting organisation and providing a range of education programmes ensures that we keep New Zealand's favourite playground safe for everyone.

Belinda's role is to ensure the effective delivery of member training and development programmes. Her primary role is to ensure the effective review, development and delivery of key SLSNZ member training and development programmes across lifesaving and sport aspects of its operations. One of these key development programmes is the BP Leaders for Life programme, which is their Leadership programme for SLSNZ members. The BP Leaders for Life programme emphasises the development of leaders at a local level who are skilled at working collaboratively with, and through, others to build and sustain Surf Life Saving in New Zealand. This programme is part of a national strategy to support a wide range of leadership development activity for members right across the Surf Life Saving community.

Pam's learning and development business (www.redefine.org.nz) focuses on three main areas: dysfunctional teams, change, and older workers. 'Redefine', developed from the notion of what we let define us combined with an interest in identify construction, works with individuals or teams as they redefine themselves in relation to the issues they face.

New Zealand's changing demographics and the issues that will be faced by employers and employees in relation to an aging workforce led Pam to an interest in older workers in the workplace, in particular around job change and performance management.

Over the years Pam has collected a number of robust tools to use with clients, and she finds the suite of TMS profiles meets her requirements of credibility and robustness. Pam has absolute confidence in the TMS tools she uses and one of the many outstanding services provided by TMS is the on-going support they provide in answering questions about how to handle different situations.

Pam has worked with: government departments, tertiary institutions, local authorities, multi-national companies, trans-Tasman companies, and New Zealand companies and firms.

Maxine Walker - Consultant

Maxine specialises in supporting leaders and their teams to be clear on what they want to achieve with their business. She facilitates a wide range of teams across various sectors to make sure they are aligned on the changes they need to make to achieve their vision. Team Management Services tools are at the heart of helping her to do this.

A core philosophy that drives her approach is that once a client has invested in TMP or WoWV, they should get the most out of that investment as possible. This means that Maxine takes the tools beyond the initial awareness of individual and team preference, and uses them on a weekly basis to frame meetings, build strategy and direct individual and team efforts into 'the right part of the wheel' when needed.

Maxine's background is in business improvement and change management and she regularly uses Team Management Profiles and Window on Work Values profiles to compliment her experience in embedding performance improvement frameworks in organisations.

Una Underhay - Senior Solutions Advisor

Wayne Moore – Senior Solutions Advisor

In the Ministry of Justice we use Team Management profiles widely across all levels of the organisation. We are becoming more effective through better understanding of how team members prefer to work and improving the way we communicate with one another. Team Management Profile is also a great template for our people to build self-awareness and identify areas for development.

Una and Wayne are Senior Advisors focussing on leadership and management development in the People and Performance team. They have worked together for a number of years, developing frameworks, designing and developing leadership programmes, delivering training and measuring learning impact and effectiveness.

They are experienced accredited practitioners in the complete suite of TMS profiles and use Team Management Profile extensively.

Linda Blum - Director

At Achieve Group we specialise in developing leaders and managers. We also work alongside managers every week to build high performing teams.

We use a range of TMS tools, including TMP, the Leadership Behaviours Profile (LBP) and Window on Work Values (WOWV)

Linda uses the TMP every week in a range of ways:

• On our 6 month Leading for Results programme for talented middle-tier managers from the public and private sectors. We use the TMP to enable managers to understand how they prefer to work, and how best to manage and coach staff members with different styles. We also use the TMP to allocate managers to groups for a variety of practical activities.
• To build teams or further develop existing teams. Some organisations have chosen to use the TMP for all managers, including the senior management team. This provides a common language for teams in the organisation and an opportunity to do some analysis of the overall “balance” of styles in a unit or across the organisation.
• In coaching with individual managers and staff.
• To provide a "safe" way to discuss differences when there is conflict between people with very different styles.
• During career planning.
• To assist managers who are recruiting new staff. It is used alongside other tools and processes to explore the applicant's fit with existing team members.

The TMP is easily understood and the reports are clearly laid out. In any one session this tool allows us to focus on both the overall team functioning and the interpersonal relationships in the team.

It seems to appeal to all, including analytical types that are normally sceptical about tools in general.

Vicki Condon

Steve Tully

Staff at DOC are passionate about the environment, our native species and our special places – and continually go above and beyond to get the job done. To help them achieve this, over the last five years, DOC has placed significant emphasis on development of capability and leadership – and a core component of this has been broad use of TMP. Across the country, teams are heard talking about working preferences, their ‘place on the wheel’ and using the language of working preferences.

TMP has been used across the whole organisation, with the executive team through to rangers who work on the frontline. It is now the preferred work-preference assessment instrument on all our leadership programmes.

Part of its success is the immediate applicability, there is no feeling of being ‘tested’ - and all our workshops are designed to be enjoyable, informative and relevant to the day-to-day work – and this is helped by the fact that the people running the DOC TMP sessions are DOC staff.

Some comments from the team, regarding their use of TMP include:

Vicki Condon

We use TMP on our Aspiring Leaders Programme, with participants drawn from all over the country, and from different agencies in the Natural Resource Sector. The discussions about TMP helps the participants get to know each other for the first time and all enjoy having an interactive, practical session where they can openly share their experiences working with others with different working preferences. TMP also enables discussions about leadership and how there is no one "right" profile to be an effective manager or leader.

Steve Tully

I have used the TMP primarily for helping new teams develop in the forming stage - particularly after a review of some kind. Great for ice-breaking where team-members know very little about each other, TMP provides an explanation for those who wondered why their colleagues generally operate the way that they do. I typically experience quite a few 'a-ha' reactions. It is a 'safe' tool that focuses on work preferences rather than personality types - staff don't feel pigeon-holed It also brings to managers' attention any work preference that may need some covering off.

An example is undertaking a TMI analysis for a whole unit of approx. 50 profiles, starting with smaller teams within and then producing an overall roll-up. A fun and slightly competitive way of sharing team profiles and what they meant for the unit.

Ingrid Hood - Retail Sales Academy Manager

Since it was established in 2012, Ingrid Hood has managed the Telecom Retail Sales Academy which is responsible for building sales and sales leadership capability across Telecom’s business and consumer channels. The Academy offers a range of internally developed and externally sourced programs and resources with the objective of achieving sales and leadership excellence.

The Academy recognises that sales people need to be resilient. They face rejection every day, need to think on their feet and focus on achieving ever increasing goals. At Telecom, like many other sales focused organisations, we recognise sales leaders are the key to maintaining this resilience. By creating a performance focused competitive, challenging environment, they provide a platform for sales success. Our sales leadership development programs aim to increase understanding of not just sales management tasks but understanding what makes sales people tick. In 2013, we introduced the QO2 profile to our sales leaders to help develop this understanding. The profile provides the perfect framework for understanding resilience and the characteristics of sales success. The opportunities and obstacles measures in the profile are perfect for sales development – inevitably people will need to develop or mitigate their focus on one or the other to improve their results.

Ingrid has used the TMP profile with leaders and teams for a number of years. She prefers both the TMP and QO2 profiles simply because they work! She describes them as pragmatic, easy to understand and they continue to resonate with users long after the programs are finished. “When you hear ‘It’s like they know me!’ time and time again you know people will be open to the learning offered by the profiles”.

John Richmond - Consultant

John Richmond established his commercial association with Team Management Services Ltd in 1992. He subsequently developed a successful career in General Management, Sales and Marketing, primarily in association with building industry providers specialising in the importation of very high value products for the facilitation of bespoke interior fit-outs. As a result he has accumulated a broad range of experience across all aspects of organisational operations.

Throughout his career John has maintained an interest in the development of high performing teams, a positive organisational culture, the support, development and retention of staff and investing in "whatever it took" to secure positive "win/win" outcomes for all parties when required. “My early exposure to the Team Management Services suite of practical and easy to implement “tools” and methodologies has served me extremely well with respect to my own career progression” says John.

That interest in Coaching and Team Development ultimately resulted in John to taking up a permanent Consulting role with Team Management Services in 2011. The role requires him to deliver programmes that encompass Strategic planning, Leadership and Team Development throughout NZ and Australia and his clients are typically larger national or multinational entities with representation variously from the private, public and non-profit sectors. These include organisations as diverse as Todd Corporation, IHC, Department of Internal Affairs and New Zealand Rugby League. So look out for John at the Auckland airport as he transits through there several times every week!

All staff in each functional team completed a profile and attended a one-day workshop. The insights gathered from the team profiles and workshop discussions were used to develop action plans for each functional team. Given that all staff at the mine were profiled over a relatively short period, valuable insights with regard to the ‘organisational profile’ were also generated.

Holona Lui - Director

Trish Lui - Director

Trish and Holona Lui are Directors of Catalyst Pacific Ltd, a learning and development, and communications consultancy, which specialises in "Building Effective Cross-Cultural Communications for High Performance."

Trish and Holona have used a variety of TMS tools particularly the Team Management Profile (TMP), for many years with a wide variety of culturally diverse teams.

"We are very confident in using TMP in a cross-cultural context and often promote and position TMP as a tool that can be used effectively with cross-cultural teams to help organisations to achieve their business goals."

"In our experience as a cross-cultural couple, family and business, TMP has proved an invaluable tool in helping people to better understand themselves and others. It provides a great platform for people to appreciate their own and others' respective cultural values. It helps people to explore how they can get the best from the way they work together both with and for their clients."

TMP offers an effective process to help teams find common ground and paves the way for a wider conversation about the different cultural values and dimensions that may be subconsciously at play in their work environment.

Using TMP is a 'safe' approach because it explores work style preferences in a non-threatening way. We have found that exploring work-styles is often a great ice-breaker. It provides an entry point that encourages people to appreciate and understand the diversity in their teams initially from a work style perspective then onto an exploration of cultural values.

Through TMP team members become far more engaged and receptive to the insights the tool can bring. The process is an enriching experience that gives people greater insight into the factors that influence the dynamics of their team and ultimately contributes to their organisation's performance and productivity.

Derek Good

Director – Learning Planet

Derek is Director of Learning Planet, a local firm who provide nationwide training and development services to improve team communication, front line interaction with customers and front line leadership using Customer Service, Sales and Leadership training and tools like TMP and LEGO Serious Play.

Derek is a previous winner of the North Shore Business Awards for Customer Service Excellence and the TUANZ innovation award for General Education.

We chose the TMP as our profiling tool of choice when we saw how effective it was to help build better communication and understanding in teams. As the TMP focuses on working preferences, it is ideal as it allows people to have a work focus. So many of the holistic profiles take away from the focus for us which is to work better together at work. We have found the TMS team to be first class at responding to requests and proactive in providing information.

Personally I have run around 40 TMP sessions around the country and thoroughly enjoy the experience and the outcomes it gives those involved. Of course, we add our own touches to TMP sessions we run so groups get exposed to some of the LEGO Serious Play and communication techniques and activities we have developed.

I highly recommend the Team Management Profiles as a way to get people to improve their understanding, communication and productivity together.
