firo-b ®
FIRO-B explains how personal needs affect interpersonal relationships. It provides a useful focus for leadership development, team building, and mentoring programmes.
The instrument measures how individuals behave toward others and the behaviours they want back. At team level, FIRO-B helps to describe group norms/team culture, the compatibility of individuals and their orientation to working in teams. Areas of harmony and conflict - both competitive and apathetic - can be explained in a manner which promotes mutual understanding and more effective team-working.
Insights are provided into leadership styles and levels of visibility within an organisation. These are especially important if the leader needs to persuade and influence others.
FIRO-B is a registered trade mark of CPP Inc.
