WHAT IS PRINT® close
 

PRINT® is a revolutionary technology created by The Paul Hertz Group that tackles, with laser focus, an organization's ability to recruit and retain talent, grow leaders, build teams, develop employees and meet performance objectives-with unprecedented speed, efficiency, employee receptivity, and success.

The reason? PRINT® predicts and explains, with uncanny accuracy, breakthrough understanding in human motivation and behavior. And once this vital information is known, it is eagerly assimilated into an organization's hiring practices, the way it grooms its leaders, the functioning of its teams and how it addresses employee productivity. On a broad scale, PRINT contributes significantly to the health of any team or organization and is the foundation for sustainable improvement.

PRINT® solves many of the mysteries that organizations have been facing for a very long time. It addresses the root cause of persisting issues.

The research speaks for itself.

• over 65% of performance problems
• 30% of a manager's time
• up to 90% of involuntary dismissals
• the #1 reason why people quit
• why 90% of people say they are less productive
• 50% of people voluntarily leaving jobs
• about 70% of executive failures
• over 50% of merger and acquisition failures
• 36% increase in employee risk of coronary disease
• 16% increase in stroke... are the direct result of actions that we call "Shadow" Behavior.

Alternatively, a study of 198,514 workers within 36 companies in 21 industries, including finance, manufacturing, retail, service, transportation and public utilities concluded that:

• 14% increase in customer loyalty
• 32% increase in sales
• 19% increase in profit margin... result from actions we call "Best Self" Behavior.

The most prominent feature of PRINT® is that it leapfrogs conventional wisdom - information that is limited to describing people's behaviors, preferences or types. This information is interesting, but lacks the depth of understanding required for permanent and sustainable improvement, growth and change.

What are the breakthroughs of PRINT®?

• PRINT® articulates the core motivations that drive people’s actions. These are called Unconscious Motivators and everyone has two, a Major and Minor. This knowledge cuts to the chase about why people do what they do, say what they say, and think what they think. This information is essential to bolster recruiting practices, leadership skills, employee engagement and team functioning.


• PRINT® reveals the spectrum of Best Self (positive and productive) and Shadow (negative, unproductive, and automatic) behaviors exhibited by people. Even more important, PRINT® explains why Best Self is chosen in some circumstances yet in others, the default response is Shadow. How a person’s Unconscious Motivators are played out in the workplace dictates the degree of Best Self and Shadow qualities that person displays.


• PRINT® uncovers people’s unique set of Triggers, events that can propel them into Shadow at the drop of a hat. This is often an unintentional and unconscious act, but dangerous none the less. It is imperative that people know their own and other’s Triggers, as well as prevention and recovery techniques and strategies that minimize the occurrence of Trigger responses.

How overly focused (usually unconsciously) a person is on getting his or her Unconscious Motivators satisfied dictates how much Best Self or Shadow they reveal. When overly fixated, Shadow behavior ensues. And this carries a huge cost, as witnessed by the research.

The PRINT® program is a combination of customized reports, humor infused workshops, and team/individual based coaching, for identifying Unconscious Motivators, Best Self and Shadow behaviors, and Triggers along with embracing proprietary tools that diminish Shadow behavior in the workplace.

PRINT® is a prescriptive, not just descriptive approach. The goal is to gain insight, but more importantly to improve, in tangible terms, how we hire, lead, communicate, collaborate, handle stress, address change, and meet performance goals. PRINT® plays an important role in the success or failure of all of these areas. close
