For several years we have been using the Task Quotient (TQ) Assessment, designed by Dr. Gazzara. A recent success story involved a discovery using TQ that identified a dissatisfied and misplaced in a service  manager who thrived on Project and Routine Work and was demotivated by Trouble-Shooting work. Based on his TQ profile we were able to move him into a sales related position where today he is highly engaged and has excelled for the company. Other assessments allowed us to get the right people for the company, the TQ assessment helped us preserve our investment by properly placing and retaining them.

The Magna Leading Forward training is excellent and provides simple, effective tools that can help any organization.

The leadership skills I learned as a Bank Executive has been so valuable. I would learn new tools and implement them immediately. All the training and coaching is new information and best in class management and leadership skills. I highly recommend this company because the information applies to all industries, and it applies to all managers and leaders regardless of years in that position.

Magna Leadership Solutions is an amazing resource that helped to streamline several areas of my operations. They were instrumental in increasing our productivity through their TQ techniques. Their ability to map behaviors into an operational model that propels the organization forward is invaluable. Magna has stepped into more than one situation where the complexity of our environment needed help; they were not only able to analyze our model but made several recommendations that increased our productivity and employee retention! I have known Kevin and Magna for more than 10 years and I would highly recommend them. As a business partner, the Magna team operates with uncompromising integrity.

Kevin was a facilitator during First Line Manager training for Intel. I can’t imagine a better person to guide us through the FLM process! Kevin watched us tackle different exercises and interjected himself when we needed some gentle pushing. I was only with Kevin for five days during the FLM training, but will never forget his encouragement and ‘role modeling’ behavior.

Magna Leadership has a set of magnificent tools for larger businesses. We used the Caliber tools and did some of the music training. The Caliber assessment was very helpful for us to get peer feedback on how to improve performance. Kevin is an amazingly smart person with a great personality and has a product that is incredible. Magna Leadership Solutions is outstanding for organizations with a diverse employee base. The measurability is the real key. I can identify specific areas – not a list of 30 – so it’s realistic in what you can target on and see real, tangible improvements.

As an agency, we pride ourselves in being able to solve our clients’ business challenges with the right communication tools. We seek to regularly sharpen our problem solving skills and break out of our usual routine to examine problems and solve them. We invited Dr. Kevin Gazzara to join our annual retreat for a problem solving session with our whole organization (25 employees). Dr. Gazzara kept the content moving swiftly, weaving interactive exercises built into the course instruction. Everyone was engaged – even the employees I thought might be more reserved dove right into the program and shared, expressed ideas and came up with some of the best solutions in our exercises. The most valuable aspect of the workshop was that because we … Read more

Speaker Testimonial: Kevin is brilliant and fun. He involves the groups with his real life examples, his non boring data and his witty activities.He makes complex situations easy to understand and he provides great solutions.

I am very impressed with the AzBA Emerging Leaders program. The customized approach to delivering Magna Leadership’s Lead with Purpose program is what makes all of the difference. Not a moment of time away from the office feels wasted for these up-and-coming leaders in community banking in Arizona. The investment has a tremendous ripple effect, and the value is put into practice after just one session. I spent 20 years implementing various leadership development programs and can honestly say that Kevin and Tim are the very best at what they do.

In planning for retreats in the for-profit or non-profit world, it is rare to find a facilitator that combines practical experience with an approachable style and the ability to capture the attention of a group. Dr. Kevin Gazzara captures these qualities and is an effective workshop leader that provided a useful and enjoyable day of learning and interaction for my law firm’s lawyers and paralegals. The interaction between the participants came easy with Kevin’s facilitation skills.  He is low-key, but very effective in getting people to engage one another. In the past, other facilitators may have generated “rolling-eyes” or other evidence of resistance from lawyer participants.  Kevin has an easy style that puts all the participan… Read more
