How many times have you taken a personality assessment only to forget all about it a few days later?

Ann Herrmann-Nehdi, Chair of the Board and Chief Thought Leader at Herrmann, believes it's time to make assessments usable on a daily basis. Hermann uses a proprietary Whole Brain® Thinking approach (not a personality assessment) to make it easy to build alignment, engagement, and agility across your organization. Ann's on a mission to help leaders and teams change their thinking and leverage each others' strengths.
