Management Psychology Group
“The science of psychology. The art of selection and leadership.”
We are a business and organizational psychology consulting firm. Since our founding in 1986, we have been privileged to work as trusted advisors and partners with some of the largest companies in the Fortune 500, small professional firms, start-ups, professional sports organizations, schools and non-profits. Our core focus is helping clients assess, select and develop the people who will enable them to continue to grow and succeed.
Our Services
Our mission is to help organizations get the right people in the right roles, enable individuals to reach their full potential at work, and strengthen the effectiveness of executive teams. We provide professional, timely, practical, and cost-effective psychological consulting services tailored to our clients’ needs.
Drawing on extensive experience in assessment for selection and development, leadership succession planning, executive coaching, job analysis, selection validation, employee surveys, and team building, we help organizations make informed talent decisions and achieve lasting results.
Learn more…Assessment
Individual psychological assessment for candidate selection and development is our signature strength. It is the cornerstone of our work helping managers make better hiring and promotion decisions, and helping people understand their unique personality and aptitude profiles to facilitate growth.
Team Development
We help senior executives understand the strengths and gaps of their teams so they can focus on making fact-based decisions and implementing workable plans for greater team effectiveness. We focus on finding practical solutions to real-world problems, not feel-good exercises.
Career Development
The right career choices and mid-career tweaks have positive and life-changing potential. We provide comprehensive assessment and consultation services for early career planning, mid-career reassessment and career crisis intervention.
Executive Coaching
Just as the sharpest blade needs a whetstone, the sharpest leader needs the perspective and non-judgmental feedback that a seasoned outsider can bring. Our individualized coaching helps new and experienced leaders act in in ways that are more effective. It is focused on insight-based proactive growth, but It is not psychotherapy.
Remote Online Assessment
We offer testing without interviews when clients need quicker turnaround and/or lower level candidate assessment. While we use a variety of standard assessment instruments, depending on client needs and preferences, the eTest battery is the heart of our online testing service.
Surveys
We design and administer employee engagement and opinion/attitude surveys and 360-type feedback instruments, and provide assistance in analyzing results and planning for helpful responses. Our services range from evaluating and improving existing surveys to ground-up design and administration of new instruments.
