TetraMap Diagnostic Tool

Unlock stronger communication and teamwork with TetraMap®.

Harness Behavioural Styles for Team Success

At LDL we use a range of diagnostic tools as part of our management and communication training programmes. The LDL consultancy team is qualified across a range of such tools, from the Interpersonal Influence Inventory, to MBTI, FIRO-B, and 360 assessments. One tool which we have started to use more recently, and which our clients have found especially engaging, is called TetraMap.

TetraMap is a self-score instrument designed to help you better understand your behavioural preferences, and also how your preferences might guide your thinking. Based on an exciting, memorable model that maps behavioural characteristics onto the four elements of classical philosophy – Earth, Air, Water and Fire – TetraMap engages the enthusiasm of delegates from across a range of roles and abilities.

Organisations are ecosystems in their own right, and TetraMap uses the language of natural systems to provide a robust framework that pays attention to multiple perspectives, and encourages individuals to work inter-dependently and synergistically within their teams.
