Most of us have been using psychometric tools in some aspect of our organizational and personal lives for many years. The most popular kinds are based on Dr. Carl Jung's theory of psychological type.  The preeminent instrument of this kind is the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator®, developed more than 50 years ago and completed by over two million people every year. There are many others, such as Social Styles®, Insights®, True Colors®, DiSC®, and so on—all of which derive their methodology from the same Jungian principles.

5Dynamics is a breakthrough instrument that focuses on the cognitive and behavioral processes that determine how individuals learn, create, and collaborate. It then maps them to whatever a person wants to achieve.

It includes a powerful coaching application with unique dyad reports, showing how the leader's, coach's or mentor's dynamics compare to those of the person being developed, and suggesting strategies for an optimal leadership, coaching and mentoring relationship. They represent extraordinarily effective, yet simple, team and leadership development tools.

The 5Dynamics Tool enables leaders to work with their teams to:

  • Measure how people prefer to work, learn, and collaborate.
  • Specify the necessary ingredients for success in any job, role, working pair, team, or process.
  • Map the individuals' energies to the process for optimal results.
  • Assist people in developing and adapting those energies, insofar as possible.

Energy refers to the ability to sustain high performance over time without stress. This is quite different from competence, which people have known how to measure for many years.

The results of the 2-minute assessment focus on process rather than on personality.

One of the keys to building an inspiring organization is the building of inspiring relationships. And building inspiring relationships depends upon on a deep understanding of the other person's learning preferences. When we know these, we are able to communicate more effectively, in a way that speaks to their own energy preferences and therefore inspires them.

In organizations this process is applicable to situation. Individuals can easily grasp how to approach a role, task, or work assignment. Team members can quickly see how their dynamics influence their collaboration with one another to achieve their dreams or the objectives of a team.

When the people fit the process (and vice-versa) the business outcomes are dramatically improved and people feel a high degree of individual satisfaction.

These steps—ideas, inspiring other people, planning, and execution—describe any process. Each one of them consistently attracts each of us to a greater or lesser degree. Mastering our energy—and knowing the energies of others—is a huge component of success and happiness—in work and life.

As people's understanding of "process" expands, they instinctively make two kinds of discoveries:

  • When their strengths can best be applied (context)
  • How the human contribution to processes can be optimized for external success and internal satisfaction or happiness.

5Dynamics provides people and organizations with a systematic way to understand and apply strengths, to grow and adapt to situations, and to enlist other people to help achieve common goals.

The primary goal of the Secretan Center is to help organizations identify, realize and sustain their dreams, and 5Dynamics is one of the best instruments of its kind to help an organization deploy its human assets effectively in order to achieve their dream.
