  1. The credit for this presentation goes to Randy Hopkins, Birkman Certified Consultant. Randy is owner and operator of Team Excellence, Inc., a Houston, Texas USA management consulting company. Visit www.teamexcellence.com for more information.
  2. What does “self-control” mean to you? The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines self-control as: “Restraint exercised over one's own impulses, emotions, or desires.” A person must first understand what needs restraint, when restraint is necessary, and how to restrain. The Birkman Method®. The multi-dimensional measurement of the individual’s behaviors and motivations, available through Birkman’s unique construction and comparative database, provide powerful insight into what specifically drives a person’s behavior, and thus gives people greater choice while allowing them to assume a much higher level of responsibility for their own behavior through increased in-depth self-understanding and a relative comparison with others. Without this information, people assume their needs and feelings are “normal”, though seldom quantified, and few people are able to “figure out” how to get their needs met or satisfied. This prescriptive capability is one of Birkman’s most powerful contributions.
  3. STORY A Southwest Airlines jet plane was setting up for landing at the Los Angeles Airport (LAX) when the nose gear would not come down and lock in to place. The captain decided to try and jar the nose gear down in to the locked position with some side-to-side and up-and-down maneuvers. After getting clearance from the tower to make those maneuvers the captain called the head flight attendant to the cockpit to inform them of the situation. The captain asked the head flight attendant to inform the passengers of the situation and let them know what the captain was about to do. The head flight attendant went out to the main cabin and got on the loudspeaker. The passengers were informed of the situation and what the captain was going to do about it. They were also instructed to put their heads down between their knees in a safety position. Due to the maneuvers the captain would be making it was likely that luggage and other items stored overhead may come out in to the cabin. The head flight attendant informed the captain that all passengers had been briefed and given safety instructions. MESSAGE I’ll bet you 1 million dollars that everyone on that plane was scared. Would you agree? I’ll bet you 10 million dollars that everyone on that plane was better off knowing that the maneuvers the plane was making were deliberately being done by the pilot. The pilot was still in control. The Birkman Method® is about information, the right information to help employees, managers, and leadership stay informed and doing things the right way, in the right place, and for the right reasons.
  4. How you see a person behaving does not mean you should treat that person the very same way. For example, if you see a person speaking very directly don’t assume that you should communicate back to them in that very same manner. In fact, as the Birkman database shows you will be wrong at least 50% of the time.
  5. Medical knowledge has proven that we need a certain amount of Vitamin C to maintain a healthy body. Too little and the body can develop scurvy. The need for vitamin C is quite variable by individual. Just as one size shoe doesn’t fit every foot, the recommended daily allowance will not fill everybody’s need for this essential vitamin.
  6. The Birkman Method® and its “needs” operate in much the same manner as the example of Vitamin C. Our needs are our psychological Vitamin C that can maintain our psychological health. Just as the need for vitamin C is quite variable, so are Birkman needs. But how does one understand what their need is? Birkman quantifies the individual’s needs through eleven behavioral components. Each component is presented in light of three different perspectives, including Needs, Usual Behavior, and Stress Behavior. Each perspective sheds light on traits that can and will impact behavioral styles in relationships. The Birkman Method®’s capacity for describing behavior at the individual level using multiple perspectives is one of its most compelling and unique features.
