SLTI???????????

With all the buzz words we have to remember, my head is buzzing!

SLTI stands for "Strategic Leadership Type Indicator"

We just rec'd a call from a large company who found us on the internet and that is exactly what he was looking for.

A strategy NOT a style. You can get a quick read [just 2 pages with graphs] on this if leadership is of interest to you. http://www.super-solutions.com/documents/SLTI_000.pdf

I did notice the phone number on the sheet is in need of an update. The correct number is

1-800-803-4303. The website is still www.super-solutions.com

What Are DISC Profiles? {And Free Sample Report}

I just rec'd an email requesting some info on DISC. Bill wants to do some assessments on himself and some employees. Why? What is trying to figure out or discover? Well, lets start with what is DISC?

DISC is an assessment. DISC helps you understand why you do what you do. It also helps you understand and appreciate others around you.

One of the strengths of doing a DISC profile is its ability to to describe a persons behavioral approach, work environment, how they like to be communicated to, their strengths and areas needing improvement.

For now, and to keep this short, I will give you the 4 basic behaviors and see if you can identify which one you might be. Having said that, we all have some of each in us, it's just that one tends to be more "you" than the others. You can be high or low in each of these areas.

This is an overview and by no means complete.

D= Dominance- Desires to attain goals. Decisive, Innovative, Positive and Strong

I= Influencer- Extroverted, Motivating, Expressive, Convincing, Upbeat, Sociable

S= Steadiness-Rigid, Systematic, Reluctant to change, Consistent, Composed, Relaxed

C= C0mpliant-meticulous, Precise, Quality driven, Accurate, Prudent, Diplomatic

That may be the shortest version of DISC you will ever see. I could write on this for days but I also like to keep things simple and to the point.

I am a "D" and that was my goal! Yea, I did it. Hit my goal.

Free Sample Report.

Now think about this, which one are you? Can you tell from the descriptions above?
Would you like a sample report showing you quite a bit more detail in a 14 page report?
Here it is http://www.super-solutions.com/p4-behavioral.asp You'll love this.

Pre-employment Testing For Oil Well Companies?

Well, we know that oil and water don't mix but what about pre employment testing mixing with oil companies? It's 10 am here in Amish Country and because of the vastness of the internet and some Google ad campaigns, an oil well company found out about us and needs some testing for office skills. These are fun calls for me because I know how much money the oil company will save on getting a great "job fit" using skill assessment tests.

There are 2 kinds of tests, one is a simulation in excel, word, power point, etc. and the other one is a series of multiple choice questions which costs less.

So, oil and employment testing do mix and mix very well. Here is a link that gives some more information http://www.super-solutions.com/OfficeSkillsTesting.asp

Just rec'd a call from a College

Are you going to be soon? If so, you might want to get a sample report of the specific job you are hiring for.

The college that called just a few minutes ago needs people with good computer skills using Microsoft Word, Excel and Powerpoint. I pointed her to 2 choices. One is a multiple choice test and the other is an actual simulation, taking the test using the product. One is less expensive than the other. You can learn more about these skill tests on the following site and ask any question. http://www.super-solutions.com/OfficeSkillsTesting.asp
