The FIRO-B® assessment and its results have had a great impact on behavioral awareness among the leaders and managers that I train.

After the FIRO-B® assessment, my clients understand their own motivators, each other’s motivations, and can build stronger relationships with their key colleagues, clients, and team mates. It has resolved many a conflict between employees and their bosses or key stakeholders.

The FIRO-B® assessment provides me with a tool for helping individuals understand what they seek from groups. It’s valuable in helping them manage their own motivations as well as respecting the different needs within groups they serve in or lead. It has strengthened my teaching programs, in that my clients can now see how their behaviors affect trust and conflict.
