Intellectus Business Assessments | Recognizing and Advancing Business Talent

Recognizing and Advancing Talent

Have you ever worked with someone with exceptional skills who did not quite live up to their potential or adjust to the demands of a “bigger” position? Chances are high that their motivational priorities did not “fit” their role. Top performance takes place when the talent of an employee is matched with the correct resources and opportunities.

Our assessment services help identify individual talents and the environment best suited to maximize those talents.

Managing Performance

The difference between average and outstanding performance often has more to do with psychological motivation than a specific skill set. Our assessment services identify the motivational priorities of top performers – providing a platform for focused “coaching”.

Enhancing and Delivering Development

An effective assessment can serve as a platform for focused and measurable development. This can lead to unprecedented achievement and success.

Through our assessment batteries we’ll identify areas of competence and areas of high potential growth. We’ll then use that information to provide individual and group development strategies as well as detailed milestones.

Finally, we deliver comprehensive development programs, including executive coaching, in face-to-face and teleconference modalities.

Welcome

Organizations: Intellectus Business Assessments will help identify the motivation and talent of key individuals. We evaluate a full range of talents (competencies) including emotional intelligence and thinking ability. We also evaluate motivation, personality characteristics, and the results of 360 feedback. We offer personal interpretation–not automated or computer generated interpretation. Finally, we offer a guarantee: our services will predict performance or we will return our fee.

Individuals: If you are looking to get insight into the reasons for a career impasse or to better quantify your strengths and weaknesses, we will help. Our assessments will tell you where you are and how to get to where you want to be. We will guide you through the assessment process and along the path of personal development.

All: Please use the contact page to send your questions or comments.

Assessing Motivation and Talent

Motivation and talent predict success in every human endeavor. It does not matter if you are in business or on the field as a professional athlete, your potential for success is ultimately determined by a combination of your motivation to succeed and your talent.

There are four potential classifications:

talented and motivated
talented and unmotivated
untalented and motivated
untalented and unmotivated

Although “good fortune” or “luck” can contribute to success, the predictable determining factors are motivation and talent…

Testimonial - Medical Software

“In our medical product and service marketplace we can't afford to make a major mistake - particularly with key team member decisions. I enlisted Dr. Lebo and his Intellectus Assessments methodology to give us high confidence, unbiased, 360' assessments of our organization, how to maximize our collective performance, and how to make smart decisions about key hires that will fit, not just try to adapt. Dr. Lebo's assessments gave us both insight into our combined potential and a conversational framework to apply it. Without both pieces, I suspect we'd have promptly reverted to our well-hewn ways. Instead, we now better understand what makes us tick organizationally, and what key personal attributes our management team requires.”

Dr. Lebo has over 25 years experience in both corporate and clinical settings. He has a MS in Industrial/Organizational Consulting, a Ph. D. in Psychology and is an expert in assessing personality, motivation, and thinking ability.

Dr. Lebo’s areas of interest include: identifying motivational priorities and areas of special intelligence (for example, emotional intelligence and analytic intelligence).

In addition to being a current member in the Society of Psychologists in Management, Dr. Lebo’s expertise includes maximizing the “fit” between motivational priorities and roles. Maximizing fit improves performance, job satisfaction, and employee retention.

Strategies based on the motivational priorities of an individual or group yield much greater returns than random approaches because influence is maximized.
