Praise for The Birkman Method

“It’s critical to know the things that make a person tick. Once you understand the individuals you work with each day, you can give greater opportunity to your employees and create a more powerful team. The Birkman Method is an easy read that provides thought-provoking insights and understanding.”

—Steve Lufburrow, CEO, Goodwill Industries of Houston

“The Birkman Method is a tool that provides awareness, understanding, and wisdom for anyone on a learning journey. The power of the Birkman is its ability to make sense of the stories we tell of our interactions with others, which forms the basis of who we are and how we act. This wonderful book shares these stories so that all can relate.”

—Kelly D. Bean, assistant dean, UCLA Anderson Executive Education

“Beliefs and perceptions are such dangerous things—they can cost you so much. The Birkman Method helps me recognize them in myself and in others, but more important, it provides a framework for talking about them in an open, nonconfrontational way. I simply don’t know what I would do without the Birkman.”

—Justin Parer, managing director, Pi Strategic Management

“The Birkman Method’s unique approach sets it apart from any other psychometric assessment tool. Eleven years and 4,500 completed assessments later, we continue to rely on it to add value to our company’s individual development and team-building efforts on an ongoing basis.”

—Margie Poole, senior organizational development consultant, CenterPoint Energy

“Building strong leaders and exceptional teams are table stakes for competing successfully in our industry. The Birkman Method has been an invaluable tool for us in supporting this mission for an extended period of time.”

—John Farrell, senior director of organizational development, Marathon Oil Company
