What makes LIFO ® effective?

  • it is not a test and there are no right or wrong answers, just a recognition of why people approach tasks and people in different ways,
  • the feedback you receive is all about you (not you compared to a statistical average person), and is powerful whilst being straightforward,
  • the feedback is accurate because the survey requires you to identify what you actually do, not what you would like to do or think others want you to do,
  • the issues that arise from the feedback are relevant and practical, and give a robust basis for choosing new improvement strategies quickly,
  • it is a facilitator of personal exploration rather than a cold diagnostic tool that forces people into a narrow stereotype,
  • helps people identify their strengths in relation to when things are going well and also when they are faced with opposition, stress or conflict,
  • can identify when someone is overdoing their strengths and as a result not getting the results they envisaged,
  • it is a dynamic measure, which means that it can be used time and again to check on personal development.
