GET THE POWER OF Q4 WORKING FOR YOUR CAREER DEVELOPMENT
What do we know about Q4? Well, if you are one of those who have attended a Dimensional Training seminar you have demonstrated a commitment to excellence in interpersonal communication, and to ongoing skill development that will help advance your career.
Now more than ever, your ability to get along with all types of people is something first-rate employers respect and tend to reward with things such as advancement and more engaging job duties. Excellence in people skills will and can eclipse years of experience in hiring or promotion decisions.
We’ve seen Dimensional Training graduates use their skills and abilities to reach the highest positions in their industries. Their consistent feedback has been that Q4 strategies have helped successfully guide them through the many complexities of managing people.
Understanding that people are different, and knowing how to respond to the different behaviours observed is explained through the Dimensional Model. A brief snapshot of the model is shown here.
Why does it work?
The Dimensional Model is a scientifically-proven means of simplifying and categorizing human behaviour that was developed in the early 1960's by Psychological Associates' founders Victor R. Buzzotta, Ph.D., and Robert E. Lefton, Ph.D.
Although business may have changed a great deal since then, human behaviour -- not so much. The theory aquired from studying The Model and the practical skills applied help managers and salespeople recognize, understand, and adapt to the wide range of behaviours they are still likely to encounter on the job.
