Emory Case Study
“Todd is well versed in conducting the Birkman assessment tool. My company contracted Todd to assess each employee to increase productivity. It worked very well. We have witnessed an increase in productivity by understanding our employees and each of their personal/career objectives.
Todd uses a direct and forthright communication style in which he effectively provided feedback to my team members. He is logical and sequential in thought process thereby assisting employees in understanding their results.
Todd possesses a trustworthy and empathetic attitude. My employees were comfortable in his presence.
Ultimately, having my team participate in this assessment has led to better team cohesion, a sense of being heard and an increase in productivity.
I would strongly recommend working with Todd to assist your organization in its growth vis a vis your greatest asset, your people.”

Develop Emotionally Intelligent Leaders With the Power of Birkman
Learn how Emory University's Goizueta Business School gives its students a competitive advantage as jobseekers with The Birkman Method.
Challenge
Like most colleges, Emory’s Goizueta Business School struggled to effectively prepare MBA students to be successful leaders in the workplace. A classroom setting was not ideal in developing key traits of effective leaders.
Action
Emory decided to implement leadership training using The Birkman Method assessments coupled with traditional lectures. In Goizueta’s MBA programs, their students are put into semester-long study teams and are introduced to Birkman from the beginning of their MBA experience through the onboarding process. Using the Birkman Method, students enhance their understanding of self, manage their stress behaviors, and gain insight into understanding others and working with a diverse team. Birkman has taught MBA students that The Golden Rule, treat others how you want to be treated, is not a useful concept for leaders. The challenge is to treat others how they need to be treated to tap into their full potential. To do this, you must understand their needs, one of Birkman’s key differentiators.
Result
Now at Goizueta, there are about a dozen Birkman certified faculty and staff. Birkman has indeed grown across the entire University, starting from students and expanding to faculty and staff. Now, every MBA student and undergraduate business study takes the Birkman Method questionnaire at Emory.
