Results-Driven Services
Harrison Assessments Consulting
Understand the People Behind the Performance
Organizations often focus on what employees are doing without fully understanding the behavioral preferences, expectations, and workplace factors influencing how they perform.
Harrison Assessments provides a deeper view.
mPowered Consultants uses Harrison Assessments to help organizations, leaders, and teams gain meaningful insight into workplace behavior, leadership tendencies, engagement factors, and development opportunities.
We then help translate those insights into practical conversations and actions that support stronger leadership, more effective teams, and better workplace experiences.
Go Beyond the Assessment Report
An assessment can provide valuable data.
But data alone doesn’t create development.
The value comes from understanding what the information means within the context of the individual, team, and organization.
Our Harrison Assessment services combine assessment insights with facilitated debriefing, coaching, team development, and organizational consulting.
Depending on the engagement, Harrison insights can help explore questions such as:
- What workplace behaviors may be helping or limiting effectiveness?
- What conditions are most likely to influence an individual’s engagement?
- How might a leader’s behavioral tendencies affect the people they lead?
- Where might competing behavioral tendencies create tension?
- How do different team members approach communication, decision-making, collaboration, and work?
- What development opportunities could have the greatest impact?
- How can leaders create environments where employees are better positioned to contribute?
The objective is to move from assessment results to meaningful action.
Harrison Assessments for Leadership Development
Leadership effectiveness is influenced not only by what leaders know, but by how they behave.
Harrison Assessments can provide leaders with insight into behavioral tendencies that may influence how they communicate, make decisions, delegate, collaborate, manage performance, and respond to workplace demands.
Assessment-based leadership development may explore areas such as:
- Communication
- Decision-making
- Delegation
- Collaboration
- Assertiveness
- Leadership behavior
- Interpersonal relationships
- Approach to authority
- Motivation
- Adaptability
- Development opportunities
- Potential behavioral blind spots
Combined with coaching, these insights can help leaders become more intentional about how they lead.
Paradoxical Leadership Technology™
One of the distinctive elements of Harrison Assessments is its Paradoxical Leadership Technology™.
Effective leadership often requires balancing two seemingly competing behaviors.
For example, a leader may need to be both:
Frank and diplomatic.
Assertive and helpful.
Certain and open to reflection.
Persistent and willing to experiment.
Too much emphasis on one behavior without its complementary behavior can create imbalance.
Harrison’s paradox framework helps participants examine these behavioral relationships and identify where greater balance may strengthen their effectiveness.
This provides a useful foundation for leadership coaching and development because the conversation moves beyond simply labeling a behavior as a strength or weakness.
Instead, participants can explore whether they are using behaviors appropriately and in balance.
Harrison Assessments for Team Development
Teams bring together people with different behavioral preferences, expectations, motivations, and approaches to work.
Those differences can create tremendous value.
They can also create misunderstanding.
Harrison-based team development helps teams better understand these differences and explore how they influence the way people work together.
Facilitated team sessions may focus on:
- Communication
- Collaboration
- Decision-making
- Team roles and contributions
- Behavioral differences
- Potential sources of tension
- Leadership dynamics
- Team engagement
- Trust and working relationships
- Opportunities for stronger partnership
The goal isn’t to make everyone behave the same way.
It’s to help teams better understand their differences and use them more effectively.
Understanding Employee Engagement
People aren’t motivated by exactly the same things.
What creates an engaging work environment for one employee may matter much less to another.
Harrison Assessments can provide insight into individual workplace expectations and the degree to which employees perceive those expectations as being fulfilled.
These insights can help organizations and leaders have more meaningful conversations about factors that may influence:
- Engagement
- Motivation
- Job satisfaction
- Manager relationships
- Work environment
- Recognition
- Development
- Authority and autonomy
- Collaboration
- Workplace expectations
Rather than treating engagement as a single organizational issue, leaders can develop a more nuanced understanding of what individual employees may need to remain engaged and productive.
