Interpersonal
Influence Inventory
Fourth Edition
Rollin Glaser, EdD
Assessment, 1 hour
Maybe you were born with it. Or maybe it was learned.
Influence is a daily part of everyday work life, from resolving misunderstandings with
colleagues to negotiating complex deals and leading project teams. And while there are
several different styles of interpersonal influence, research shows that assertive behavior
has the greatest impact on individual success and organizational performance.
The good news is that influence is mostly a learned skill. With the right training, some self-discovery,
and a healthy dose of practice, people can develop their ability to be assertive.
The Interpersonal Influence Inventory is an eye-opening learning tool that reveals a
preference for one of four dominant styles: Openly Aggressive Behavior, Concealed
Aggressive Behavior, Passive Behavior, or Assertive Behavior.
An HRDQ bestseller for more than 20 years, the Interpersonal Influence Inventory is the
combination self-assessment and training workshop that has helped thousands of
people identify their interpersonal influence style, learn how they come across to others,
and work toward becoming more effective communicators.

Assessment, 1.5 hours
Why you “hit it off” with some but
not others.
It’s a phenomenon that happens to all of us —
the ability to determine within minutes whether
or not we’ll “click” with another person. In our
personal lives, rapport leads to friendship or
even love. In the professional world, rapport
paves the way for clear communication, fewer
conflicts, better teamwork, and even greater
productivity.
That’s why you need the Neurolinguistic
Communication Profile the assessment tool
that will help anyone — from employees to
managers and executives — become a more
effective communicator. Individuals will discover
their communication preferences, and then they
learn rapid rapport building techniques. As a
trainer, you can expect to see immediate, game-changing
improvements to key areas such as
customer service, sales, negotiating, coaching,
teamwork, and more.

Learning to Listen
Third Edition
Laurie Ribble Libove, MS
Assessment, 1– 4 hours
Most people claim to be good listeners. But that’s not what
we hear.
When people listen, organizations gain a competitive advantage from better
communication, morale, and productivity to reduced absenteeism, turnover, and
conflict. However, studies show people remember only half of what they hear, even
moments after they’ve heard it. And that’s not all. On average, people spend 45% of their
time listening, yet only 2% report they’ve had formal education on the topic. Research
makes the message loud and clear — it’s time to add listening to your training line-up.
Learning to Listen is a communication instrument that focuses on the visible — and
invisible — aspects of listening behavior: Staying Focused, Capturing the Message, and
Helping the Speaker. And while most listening assessments measure style, this self-assessment
measures skill level. Because it targets actual behavior, individuals are able to
take immediate action to maximize their strengths and improve upon their weaknesses.
The result is employees who are better equipped to handle customer complaints,
negotiate contracts, manage teams, and more.

What’s My Communication Style?
Third Edition
Eileen M. Russo, PhD
What your communication style says about you.
Communication is the lifeblood of any organization, and effective
communication skills are the building blocks of “people skills.”
If managers cannot communicate clearly and persuasively with
employees, and employees with customers, then other vital goals
are forever out of reach. Say goodbye to aspirations for capable
leadership, teamwork, customer service, or even the ability to
execute a coherent business strategy.
If you want to bring about meaningful improvements to
communication skills, the best way to begin is to build a better
understanding of personal communication styles and its effects
on others. What’s My Communication Style is a proven training
assessment that identifies an individual’s preferred style — Direct,
Spirited, Considerate, or Systematic — and the communication
behaviors that distinguish it.
Part of the bestselling HRDQ Style Series, the assessment and its
supporting materials provide a practical and easy-to-use “language”
that enables lasting insights into how to gain mastery over one’s
own communication behavior and how to interpret the behavior of
others — in any situation. What’s My Communication Style is a powerful
centerpiece for management development and interpersonal skills
training.

Using leadership style to get others to follow.
Effective leadership at every level — from frontline supervisors to
top executives — is a key characteristic of successful organizations.
The statement Paul Hersey and Ken Blanchard made years ago still
applies today: effective leaders positively influence the behavior of their
followers, getting them to work toward shared goals.
But leaders are individuals, and because of that, they influence
others in unique ways. While one leader rallies troops around a
cause, another focuses on bolstering a team’s self-confidence. Whose
way of leading is the best? It all depends on the situation — and the
leaders’ ability to flex their leadership style.
What’s My Leadership Style is a learning tool for anyone who needs to
influence others toward achieving a goal. This best-selling assessment
quickly and accurately identifies a preference for one of four styles:
Direct, Spirited, Considerate, and Systematic.
Leaders with style knowledge are better equipped to assess and
adjust their actions, interpret the behavior of others, and improve
their ability to respond effectively in any situation.

R. Craig Hogan, PhD, and David W. Champagne, EdD
Assessment, 1.5 hours
Know thyself.
Self-understanding is a necessary prerequisite for learning, growth, and getting along
with others. Without it, no amount of formal training or on-the-job experience will
enable people to reach their full potential — or improve their relationships with peers,
coworkers, and managers. Blind to their own behavioral patterns, they will continue to
trip over themselves in the same old ways. So, as a trainer, where do you begin?
A bestseller for more than 25 years, the Personal Style Inventory (PSI) is an accurate
personality-style assessment and classroom workshop that reveals an individual’s
dominant personality style and sheds useful light on the critical question: Why do I
behave the way I do?
Based on Carl Jung’s well-known personality theory, the 32-item PSI identifies deep-seated
style preferences along four paired dimensions: Extraversion or Introversion,
Sensing or Intuiting, Thinking or Feeling, and Perceiving or Judging.
A combination self assessment and classroom workshop, the PSI makes it easy for
participants to “see” how they think, act, and feel. It’s an important first step toward
improving your organization’s communication, teamwork, leadership, and interpersonal
relationships. For an even more in-depth learning experience, follow the PSI with
Exploring Personal Styles, a collection of 30 reproducible exercises ranging in length from
one to five hours.

Emotional Intelligence
Skills Assessment
Steven J. Stein, Derek Mann, Peter Papadogiannis, and Wendy Gordon
Assessment, Workbook, and Workshop, 8–12 hours
The effective way of measuring the key indicator of success.
It’s the “smarts” that enable people to make sound decisions, build relationships, and
influence others. And on an organizational level, it’s the foundation of strong decision
making, synergistic teams, and thriving leaders. But emotional intelligence is more
than a measure of potential and performance; it’s a necessary tool for personal and
professional growth.
A combination assessment, skill-development workbook, and training workshop, the
Emotional Intelligence Skills Assessment (EiSA) is a comprehensive training solution
that can help anyone in your organization—from frontline employees to senior
management—to understand their current level of emotional intelligence and identify
strategies to improve effectiveness.
The Emotional Intelligence Skills Assessment can be used as a standalone program or part
of a larger curriculum on related topics such as communication, team building, and
leadership. The training package includes everything you need to prepare for and deliver
a successful learning experience, from a facilitator guide complete with background
information and step-by-step instructions to a participant workbook that supports the
workshop and serves as a handy takeaway resource.

Jungle Escape
Fifth Edition
Rollin Glaser, EdD and Christine Glaser, MEd
Game, 1.5 hours
“Why can’t these people work as a team?”
You’re probably familiar with this plea. As training professionals, we know teamwork is
vital to organizational success. Yet so many teams continue to struggle with it. Why? The
answer may be as simple as this: they don’t have a clear vision of how a well-oiled team
looks, acts, and feels.
You can stand in front of your audience and tell — even push — them to be better team
members, but we have a better idea. Let them experience it. Whisk teams away from the
traditional classroom with Jungle Escape, the high-energy game that’s been a bestseller
and perennial favorite among trainers since it was first introduced more than 30 years ago.
Immersed in a survival scenario, teams are challenged to work together to build a make-shift
helicopter with only limited parts — and each other. Jungle Escape’s hands-on design
enables players to discover and practice critical group-process skills such as team planning,
problem solving, decision making, and conflict resolution. Before they know it, they’ve
experienced first-hand the difference between a Cohesive team and one that’s either
Fragmented or Divergent.
Jungle Escape is an excellent way to introduce basic team skills, improve productivity
between work groups, or energize mature teams. So don’t settle for another ho-hum
team-building activity. Give Jungle Escape a whirl. We guarantee it will be a powerful
learning adventure your audience won’t soon forget!

Team Effectiveness Profile
Fourth Edition
HRDQ, Developers Rollin Glaser, EdD and Christine Glaser, MEd
Assessment, 1.5 hours
What’s lurking beneath the surface
of your teams?
We all know successful teams can accomplish
incredible results. But all teams are human, and
more often than not, unresolved issues lurk
beneath the surface, draining a team’s energy and
undermining its efforts. What’s needed is a proven
method to accurately diagnose and remedy the
obstacles that block success. Here’s the solution.
The Team Effectiveness Profile (TEP) is an
assessment tool that’s produced results for
thousands of teams since it was first introduced
over 30 years ago. The basis of the TEP is an
accurate, 50-item assessment that measures
team member perceptions in five key areas:
Mission, Vision, and Goals; Team Roles; Operating
Processes; Interpersonal Relationships; and Inter-team
Relationships.

Simulations, 2 hours per title
Your team is in deep trouble and doesn’t know what to do…
That’s OK — let learning be an adventure. Send your team into an icy-cold Alaskan
blizzard. Watch them drift out of control in the Sahara Desert. Leave them stranded on
a French Polynesian island. (Although maybe they’d enjoy that.) Then watch them work
together as a team to survive the life-or-death situation. It’s all part of the fun — and the
learning — teams experience with the ever-popular HRDQ Team Adventure Series.
These classroom adventure simulations can help rescue even the most desperate team from
failure. An engaging and memorable way to experience the concept of team synergy, each
simulation provides a safe, open environment in which participants can learn and practice
vital group-process skills such as problem solving, communicating effectively, managing
and resolving conflict, and consensus decision making.
These survival simulations can be used on their own, or incorporated into a more
comprehensive training program on team building, synergy, or decision making.

Benchmarks of Team Excellence
Jesse Stoner, EdD
Assessment, 1 hour
If you want to win, you have
to be excellent.
What sets excellent teams apart from those that
are just good? The answer lies in Benchmarks
of Team Excellence, a powerful assessment and
team-building tool that measures the extent
to which teams possess the six indicators of
excellence: Alignment, Team Effectiveness,
Empowerment, Passion, Commitment, and Results.
Benchmarks of Team Excellence was developed
as part of an extensive research project that
investigated the relationship between various
leadership behaviors (visionary leadership
behaviors and good management practices) and
the level of excellence in the manager’s team.

What Makes Your Team Tick?
Third Edition
Frederick S. Mumma, EdD
Assessment, 1.5 hours
Top teams have all of their bases
covered.
Wouldn’t it be great if teams were magically
made up of people whose strengths and talents
were perfectly aligned? More often than not,
team members gravitate to the tasks they enjoy
most — and ignore the rest. Introduce your
teams to Team-Work & Team-Roles, an assessment
that points out how individual preferences affect
team performance and then helps teams ensure
they’ve got their bases covered.
Using a proven model, Team-Work & Team-
Roles identifies eight specialized roles: Leader,
Moderator, Creator, Innovator, Manager, Organizer,
Evaluator, and Finisher and pairs them with four
work phases: Initiation, Ideation, Elaboration,
and Completion. If sufficient energy is dedicated
to each phase and individuals are aware of
the roles they play, teams will see a significant
improvement in both morale and performance.

Coaching Skills
Inventory
Third Edition
Kenneth R. Phillips
Assessment, 1 hour
Ignoring performance issues won’t make them go away. This will.
Have you ever had a manager who talked with an employee say, one, two, maybe
three times about a nagging performance issue — but no good ever came from it? Or
perhaps you’re familiar with the manager who chooses to pretend problems don’t exist
and ignores them altogether. Unfortunately, these types of scenarios occur far too often
in the workplace and they’re a lose-lose predicament for not only the employee and
manager, but the organization as well.
Skilled managers know that the first step to effective coaching is to establish a rapport
based on mutual trust. It’s the foundation of healthy manager-employee relationships as
well as the key to growth and performance. But that’s only the first step. To ensure a truly
productive coaching meeting, managers need to follow a seven-step process:
• Building a Relationship of Mutual Trust
• Opening the Meeting
• Getting Agreement
• Exploring Alternatives
• Getting a Commitment to Act
• Handling Excuses
• Closing the Meeting
This approach to performance coaching doesn’t come from gut instinct or intuition
alone. Designed for supervisors, managers, and team leaders, this assessment measures
the ability to conduct effective coaching meetings and build productive relationships
with employees. With the help of the Coaching Skills Inventory, they develop the
ability — and the confidence — to redirect employee behavior and improve everyday
performance.

Conflict Strategies
Inventory
Third Edition
HRDQ Developers Eileen M. Russo, PhD, and Matthew P. Eckler
Additional development by Derek T.Y. Mann, PhD
Assessment, 1– 4 hours
Conflict happens. And that’s a good thing.
The trick to prospering through conflict is to first understand it—and then know how to
manage it productively. In fact, research shows that proper conflict resolution can result
in new ideas and solutions, better problem solving, improved relationships, and even
performance enhancement.
A combination self-assessment, workbook, and classroom workshop, the Conflict
Strategies Inventory improves an individual’s ability to successfully handle workplace
conflict. Based on more than 35 years of research, this training tool explores five different
strategies: Integrating, Compromising, Competing, Smoothing, and Avoiding. Most
importantly, the Conflict Strategies Inventory accurately identifies one’s typical reaction to
conflict, examines the potential outcomes associated with each strategy, encourages the
use of more effective tactics, and provides skill practice in resolving day-to-day issues.
Completely updated and enhanced, the new Third Edition features a fully revised, full-color
facilitator guide, comprehensive participant workbook, new options for virtual
administration or self-study learning, support materials, and so much more. Packed with
extensive interpretive information, hands-on activities, skill development, and action
planning, there isn’t better way to equip individuals with the knowledge and insight they
need to address conflict in any situation. It’s most appropriate for people in the midst of
workplace conflict, but all individuals, from frontline employees to team members and
managers, will find this tool immensely helpful.

Team Conflict Strategies Inventory

Assessment, 1 hour
Don’t let unresolved issues drain the productivity
from your teams. Just like individuals, teams have
preferred ways of handling conflict. Some teams
avoid it at all costs, while others find that the
battle gives them energy and motivation. The
Team Conflict Strategies Inventory is a great way to
get teams to work through issues and learn how
to handle future conflicts more productively.
The Team Conflict Strategies Inventory presents
teams with 5 typical conflict scenarios.
Administered in two phases, team members are
first asked to predict individually how their team
would handle each situation by ranking strategy
alternatives. Then, the team as a whole comes
together to try to reach consensus on the items.
This approach allows individual team members to
share their perceptions and come to conclusions
about common strategies employed by the team.

Group problem solving doesn’t have to be

problems. Built on Kurt Lewin’s well-known
theory, the Force Field Problem Solving Model
gives participants a five-step process that starts
with defining the situation and ends with a clear
strategy for execution.
The concept behind the Force Field Model is
that any situation is the result of opposing
forces, some of which push for positive problem
resolution and others that push against positive
resolution. Problem solvers can change a
situation for the better by changing the forces
that impact it.

Change management isn’t just for top execs anymore.

Leading Change at Every Level is an assessment that measures people’s ability to garner
support for any change effort. This product was developed in response to countless
customer requests for professional development resources on the subject of change
implementation. We learned that the classic, CEO-led change is becoming extinct and
that instead, change is most effective when it is led at every level. After significant
study through relevant literature and focus groups, we’ve concluded that there are five
dimensions of change; these include: Modeling the Change, Communicating About the
Change, Involving Others in the Change, Helping Others Break from the Past, and Creating a
Supportive Environment for the Change.
Leading Change at Every Level is an effective learning tool for evaluating the success of
a recent change effort or assisting individuals to measure and improve their change
leadership skill levels.

Mastering the
Change Curve
Second Edition
Dennis T. Jaffe, PhD and Cynthia D. Scott, PhD
Assessment, 1.5 hours
Accelerate the acceptance of organizational change.
The old adage “the only thing constant is change” has never been more true than it is
in today’s work world. Factors such as the economy, advancements in technology, and
customer demands require companies to act quickly to adjust and innovate.
Mastering the Change Curve is an assessment designed to bring concerns to the surface
during change and help individuals, teams, and organizations understand, accept, and
successfully transition through the experience.
Authors, Drs. Jaffe and Scott, experts in the field of change management, describe
change as a natural progression through a series of four phases. To successfully deal with
change, individuals must pass through all four phases: Denial, Resistance, Exploration, and
Commitment.
Based upon years of research, experience, and the Kubler-Ross grief model, Mastering
the Change Curve uses a current change initiative as a frame of reference, and individuals
respond to a series of 24 statements that describe responses to change. The soft-skills
assessment identifies which change phase the individual is currently experiencing, and
it also provides subscores in each of the dimensions.
The Facilitator Set includes tools to lead a meaningful two-hour training session,
including background information, step-by-step workshop guidelines, the Four Phases
of Change, the Change Curve Model, optional activities, alternative training designs, and
a professional Microsoft PowerPoint presentation.
Administer it periodically throughout a change — Mastering the Change Curve is an
excellent way to track and monitor progress.

“ Mastering the Change Curve is a terrific addition to any

the first edition, Jaffe and Scott provide a well-organized collection
of materials for advisors, trainers, and administrators. The all
inclusive materials offer a cohesive structure to begin a dialogue
about change.”

Stepping Up
A Road Map for New Supervisors
Miki Lane, Marilynne Malkin, Wendy Shanken, and Dennis Cavendish
Program, 8 hours
Stepping Up is a management development
training program for new supervisors, managers,
and leaders. The program offers a basic
understanding of the roles, responsibilities, and
expectations required to be successful, and it
guides supervisors in developing an actionable
plan for personal growth.
Stepping Up provides new supervisors with an
accurate picture of what it truly means to be
a supervisor. This one-day workshop takes a
different angle than most supervisory training
programs. Rather than focusing on typical day-to-
day tasks such as planning, budgeting, and
problem solving, Stepping Up targets people
skills as the foundation for success.

Supervisory Skills
Questionnaire
Fourth Edition
HRDQ, Developed by Eileen M. Russo, PhD
Assessment, 1– 4 hours
Get supervisors in gear.
Supervisors are a vital cog in the wheel of organizational success. They are responsible
for the daily grind of getting work done through others and the front-line leaders who
influence service and quality. But oftentimes supervisors are charged with ensuring
performance in an environment they don’t control—and this can leave them feeling
stuck.
Get the wheels turning with the Supervisory Skills Questionnaire, the solution thousands
of trainers have relied upon for more than 15 years to spark immediate improvement.
The Fourth Edition has just arrived with a fresh design and numerous enhancements.
From the fully revised, full-color facilitator guide and participant workbook to the
updated model, new online assessments and 180° peer feedback, a new self-study
version, skill-development activities, and more, the Supervisory Skills Questionnaire will
get your supervisors up to speed and ready to move forward.
Why does the learning click for supervisors?
Rather than a general focus on supervisory-related topics such as communication,
leadership, and motivation, the Supervisory Skills Questionnaire targets five specific areas
that shape a supervisor’s daily work life. When supervisors are able to master these skills,
they’re well-equipped to balance the goals of the organization with the demands of their
employees.
The Supervisory Skills Questionnaire is an excellent starting point for newly-minted
supervisors and an excellent refresher for seasoned veterans. The result? Supervisors
who are ready to tackle everyday challenges such as dealing with unexpected problems,
handling performance issues, delegating, and providing direction.

Leader-Manager Profile
Second Edition
James P. Eicher
Assessment, 1.5 hours
What does it take to be an effective
leader and an effective manager?
Leadership and management are two different
yet complementary skill sets. The problem is,
it’s not always clear what distinguishes these
competencies — or how they should be applied.
The Leader-Manager Profile is different.
Unlike many leadership tools that emphasize
leadership to the exclusion of management
skills, this assessment addresses the necessity of
developing skills in both areas and demonstrates
how they contribute to success.
The Leader-Manager Profile is based on the works
of several well-known management experts
including Bennis, Kotter, Kouzes, Posner, and
others. The model for the assessment exemplifies
both leadership and management skills and
competencies.
L E A R N I N G O U TCO M E S

Flight From Savo
Take Off on a Supervisory Skills Adventure
HRDQ Research and Development Team
Game, 2 hours
Flight from Savo, a hands-on adventure game,
provides supervisors with a fun and interactive
way to experience and practice the five key
skills addressed in HRDQ’s Supervisory Skills
Questionnaire. The journey begins when an
airplane carrying a team of scientists crashes on
a remote island. To get the team to safety, the
supervisor must utilize the key supervisory skills
in guiding the construction of an escape plane.
The ability to balance the goals of the
organization with the needs of the work group
is the common thread that runs through 5
key supervisory skill dimensions. This exciting
simulation game demonstrates how a supervisor
puts the 5 key supervisory skills to work.
Presented with a predetermined set of toy parts
and charged with building an escape plane,
each group elects a supervisor who guides the
construction project using the 5 supervisory
skills. A series of “Setbacks” and “Lucky Breaks”
both complicates and facilitates the group’s work,
and challenges the supervisor. The simulation
ends when the reconstructed plane is deemed
airworthy.
After the models are completed (approximately
60 minutes later), participants take part in a
group discussion on the use of the 5 supervisory
skills used during the activity.

Negotiating
Style Profile
Third Edition
Rollin Glaser, EdD and Christine Glaser, MEd
Assessment, 1 hour
The goal isn’t to crush the opponent.
Everybody negotiates. Buyers negotiate with sellers, management with labor, supervisors
with their teams, and teams with other teams. To be a truly effective negotiator, one must
first understand that the aim isn’t to crush the opponent. Rather, it’s important to recognize
that the value of the relationship is just as important as the outcome.
The Negotiating Style Profile (NSP) is a comprehensive training tool that provides a
complete picture of one’s dominant negotiating style. Based on the same win-win
approach made popular by Ury and Fisher’s Getting to Yes and the highly respected
Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Resolution Model, the NSP identifies a preference for one of
five negotiating Styles:
• Defeating
• Accommodating
• Collaborating
• Withdrawing
• Compromising
Appropriate for managers and employees at any level of an organization, the profile
opens the door to a powerful learning experience that goes far beyond illuminating
what “win-win” means and why the concept is crucial in negotiating situations.

Breakthrough Creativity Profile
Second Edition
Lynne Levesque, EdD
Assessment, 1 hour
It’s not IF you’re creative…it’s HOW
you’re creative.
When people are asked to describe a creative
person, they usually come up with terms such
as artistic, imaginative, or entrepreneurial. But
the fact is everyone is creative. Just as there are
multiple styles of intelligence, there are multiple
styles of creativity that produce different yet
equally valuable results.
And when organizations integrate creativity into
their DNA, they can achieve significant benefits,
including better team performance, increased
flexibility, greater retention rates, creative
problem solving — and a competitive advantage
in the marketplace.
The Breakthrough Creativity Profile, Second
Edition, is the tool you need to uncover creative
talents in the workplace. Based on Carl Jung’s
well-known personality theory, this learning
instrument identifies dominant and auxiliary
preferences from eight creative styles. It
combines self-assessment with classroom

develop the ability to be inventive, become more
productive, and achieve their creative best.
