  4. #3 – iWAM Interpretation Anneli – Challenge created by the volume of information (“too much to interpret) as well as the nuances of complexity. Client wanted simplicity. Idea: Have the client choose which areas on which they would like to focus. Using it with Michael Hall’s Axes of Change Model with politicians (4 pairs of patterns). Coaching on, their orientation to change etc. Uses the iWAM scores to show them where they might have strengths and be having challenges. Blanca – There was a question about how to interpret the Clock and the relationship of the Clock to absolute and relative scores. Denise – Asked about the possible relationship between the Power pattern and the Assertive pattern. Are they related/overlapping/etc.? iWAM Professional Development Program #3

  5. #3 – iWAM Interpretation There were also discussions about the following interpretive challenges: • The CFO who scored low on Problem Solving, but responded with “I do a lot of it and I’m good at it!” • The top manager who objected to a very high Power score as being inaccurate and having the organization’s founder confront the individual with the statement, “But you’re a control freak!” • A discussion of a president who is low on Power and high on Affiliation and the challenges it creates for leading the top team. Note: There was also a comment from a Canadian participant about the usefulness of the current Canadian Standard Group that was created in 2002. We indicated that all the research and documentation had been created for a new (2011) Canadian Standard Group and that we would take action to get it in place. iWAM Professional Development Program #3
