The Cost of Suboptimal Thinking in the C-Suite

Suboptimal thinking patterns don't just limit individuals — they drag down entire departments, stall strategic execution, and cause costly leadership attrition. Every time a member of a sales team, customer service department, or product development group enters the suboptimal thinking zone, results are compromised.

For example, some employees perform exceptionally well and achieve massive milestones, but their performance is erratic. These employees cycle back and forth between extraordinary wins and burnout. They lack the sustainable mindset for long-term mastery. Optimal Thinking is the fail-safe tool to maximize their performance.

Inconsistent Performance Tracking Chart

Optimize Team Performance

Optimal Thinking 360º teams understand each member's thinking, motives, communication styles and responses to stressful situations. They collaborate to optimize performance. When team members think and breathe optimization, they maximize engagement, productivity, profitability and workplace satisfaction. Optimal Thinking teams achieve the greatest product innovations, sales results, and customer experiences.

This predictive ROI engine enables an organization to predict exactly how team members will handle conflict, delegate responsibility, and execute in stressful situations.

Organizations deploying our assessment report a 27.8% increase in leadership strategic alignment and an 11.98x average return on coaching investment.

When you order a bulk quantity of the assessment, you can customize the time frame for participation. You can then distribute the assessment to employees for in-house use. Participants receive a custom 21-page personalized Self-Optimization Report empowering them to be their best. If you permit observers, each employee receives a custom 41-page Composite Report. You can permit or block access to any report.

Optimize Your Recruiting And Training Program

  • Hire top-notch talent and cut churn resulting from bad fits
  • Assess each person's fit within the organization
  • Identify the dominant thinking level of individuals, teams, and departments
  • Quantify the thinking and strategies that serve the company's best interests

Position the Right People in the Right Roles - and Watch Them Thrive

Background checks, references and credentials do not uncover the thinking style that best fit a team's dynamics or the company's culture. This assessment objectively measures the thinking patterns of prospective hires. It empowers all employees to optimize their thinking, performance, and interactions with others. Employees can then optimize each task and perform most effectively with their team. Optimal Thinkers are self-motivated. They do their best - regardless of the circumstances. Optimal Thinkers do not need incentives, rewards or recognition to contribute their best.

Role Optimization Evaluation Matrix

Maximize Employee Performance and Retention

If your organization is ready to maximize employee engagement and retention and cut the need for external incentives and rewards, this assessment is for you.

  • Optimize cooperation and buy-in between managers and employees
  • Achieve unparalleled employee motivation, engagement, and morale
  • Create a "best practices, best place to work" environment
  • Maximize employee productivity, efficiency and effectiveness

The Optimal Thinking 360º Assessment enables employees to understand their dominant and other thinking styles. They gain insight into their strengths, weaknesses and blind spots. They learn to identify suboptimal thinking and behaviors and redirect them to optimize execution.

The Optimal Thinking 360º Assessment rises above traditional personality tests. This is because thinking is a core performance indicator. This rigorous behavioral science tool uncovers and resolves the thinking that compromises employee engagement and satisfaction. Optimal Thinking employees seek and create the best opportunities for advancement. The Assessment empowers leaders and employees to use best practices as they move up through the organization.
