ABOUT DAVID KLAASEN

Hi, Thanks for visiting my profile. I am one of the Founding Directors of Talent4Performance, and a Practitioner in Brain and Behaviour Change🧠The T4P formula for success is: Clarity x People = PerformanceCheck your Clarity Matrix™ Score via the link on my profile.Using our formula means you get strategic clarity that will engage and inspire people who are accountable because they are focused on performance and making a difference. We help you do this by shifting Mindsets, Habits and Behaviours so that- Leaders clarify what success looks like and how to get there- Managers create a culture of engagement & accountability that delivers results- People tap into their passion, developing & applying their strengths so they perform at their best.This avoids the mixed messages, confusion and stress that are all too common in business today. By implementing robust frameworks, and applying brain-friendly principles to have meaningful conversations, our clients:• Identify and address the root causes of the issues they face.• Inspire Leaders, Managers & People with a clear vision, meaningful purpose & values that drive performance.• Engage & energise people at every level to play to their strengths, be accountable & unleash their talent.• Achieve success by generating sustainable profitability so shareholders get a significant return on investment.For example, we help our demanding clients to:• Retire early by identifying key leaders to develop and run the business. • Shift mindsets, habits & behaviours to improve performance at all levels of the business.• Develop an inspiring and meaningful strategic narrative to avoid mixed messages and inconsistent behaviour at the top. • Use predictive behaviour analytics to help managers & people work to their strengths. • Create models of excellence and customised behavioural assessments. This provides objective measures that avoid unconscious bias and focus recruitment, training and succession planning initiatives. Results from our Case Studies:• Supported a Management Buy-Out so the owners could retire early, by training the Managers to become Directors.• Transformed organisational culture from being ridden with negativity, unhealthy conflict and underperformance to being recognised as proactive, dynamic and highly productive.• Reduced the risk in high-stakes recruitment decisions.• Laid the foundations for growth and helped increase turnover from £3M to £5M in 18 months.• Developed the Leadership Team to increase turnover from £19M to £25M and doubled net profit margins in 18 months.
