FACET 5
Facet5 is a 'Big 5' factor personality model, which allows managers to understand how people differ in their behaviour, motivation, attitudes and aspirations.
Five factors are now widely accepted as the fundamental building blocks of personality. These 'Big 5' have consistently emerged from research around the world as the irreducible minimum needed to give a comprehensive description of a person's personality. Facet5 measures these five factors precisely and quickly to give the most accurate and easily applied portrait of individual differences in behaviour. Facet5 also allows a detailed breakdown of these five factors into 13 sub-factors (facets) to explore subtleties of behaviour at an individual level.
Facet5 was designed in response to requests from many organisations for an instrument, which combined: modern design, construction and appearance, ease and flexibility of use, reasonable cost and integration with human resource management systems. It's based on recent developments in personality theory and management development and yet is simple and practical to use. Facet5's theoretical and psychometric integrity is comparable with or superior to other mainstream, but now dated personality questionnaires.
Facet5 uses a web-based questionnaire to capture information; people respond to an e-mailed invitation and are taken directly to the Facet5 website. Most people can complete a Facet5 questionnaire in around 17 minutes. Facet5 data is processed instantly and is immediately available for review by authorised users, with reports shown on screen or produced as a fully formatted PDF for printing or emailing.

Alchemy for Managers
Regardless of your management position, from the team supervisor to the CEO – you want the same thing... success for yourself, for those around you, and for your whole organisation. Ultimately, your individual success and that of your organisation will always depend directly on managerial performance – your own and that of your colleagues – and the managerial ability to evoke the greatest results from everyone.
Putting the breakthrough Alchemy for Managers resource to use, written by more than 80 of the most experienced management consultants in the UK, guarantees that increase in managerial performance by enabling managers to...
• Handle tasks more efficiently and effectively so they can get more done each day – and done well.
• Learn on the job by applying practical information in real situations, which is by far the most effective form of learning.
• Readily and realistically make the transition when promoted from team member to supervisor, from team leader to line manager and further.
• Fulfil their delegated responsibilities with confidence, even if they involve new and unexpected challenges.
• Evoke the behavioural changes in themselves and in others required for success.
• Take responsibility and succeed with their own development and improvement.
• Realistically make the transition from ordinary to extraordinary.
The premise is simple – every manager needs extensive amounts of information and skill to do their job. And no manager can ever know it all. Alchemy provides practical, down to earth information and actual methods that every manager can access right on the job, right when they need it. One user I spoke with called it ‘roll-up-your-sleeves’ information that gets the job done. This isn't about learning modules. This is about bottom line, functional answers, advice, strategies, tools and methods that you put into use each day, and immediately get better, and more rapid results.
Alchemy for Managers is a breakthrough support resource that provides the kind of day-by-day support that almost all managers lack. That's why Alchemy realistically makes the difference between average and excellent. As you know, lasting learning takes place when you apply new information in a real live situation, so you get the immediate benefit of solving the problem – and also the longer term benefit of knowing what to do next time.
There is nothing quite like experiencing the entire Alchemy for Managers resource firsthand to discover for yourself just how effective and practical it is in everyday management situations.
