The Sommer Survey™: State-of-the-Art Motivation and Decision Technology

When executives take on a new job, a role, a position, or a new project, they automatically think through how they are going to do that job. Their mind actually creates a game plan in a heartbeat. Most of that game plan is out of their awareness, yet it defines the choices they will make on the job. Accessing the details of that game plan is like having an X-Ray of their motivation to make working decisions in that job for the organization.

• The Sommer Survey actually profiles the thoughts executives use to build a game plan.
• The Sommer Survey profile makes accessible the mental process that creates an executive’s game plan and decision making.
• Senior decision makers get to know the individual executive in minutes rather than in days, weeks or months.
• Senior decision makers get high-powered information to optimize executive performance among teams and individuals, new hires and incumbents.

The profile answers the question: “How is this executive thinking about the job to produce the best business outcome?”

The Sommer Survey provides a comprehensive analysis of the individual’s job choices for the game plan and its components, such as:

• The job’s positioning in its organizational context
• Leadership and teamwork priorities
• Communications preferences and priorities
• Decision rationales for issues as well as people
• Working relationships inside and outside the organization

The Unique Benefits of The Sommer Survey:

• The up-close-and-personal view of how executives build the job from their own choices.
• How the executive fits into the job requirements and will shape the job’s business outcomes.
• Real-time understanding of how the work will get done by the individual and the team.
• Uniquely specific and actionable insight into the real-time job situation.
• Actionable information instead of mere ‘fortune-cookie’ characterizations.
