Highlights for Children
I like the way the nine dimensions provide a robust view of an organization’s climate and results in more useful dialogue with clients. These dialogues often unearth areas of needs that allow me to identify ways I can help clients achieve their organizational goals. They can also see how the different dimensions play off each other to drive performance.
