In 1999, Gallup proved that the quality of a manager and employee's relationship directly affects engagement and business results. They also discovered that employees who use their strengths every day are more productive and more profitable.1
The Wray Performance Window™ helps managers put this research into practice. This simple tool can improve the manager-employee relationship and help uncover employee strengths. The Window goes even further. It reveals which tasks employees enjoy most: the true opportunities for maximum performance.
The Wray Performance Window™ helps managers delegate the right tasks to the right people, capitalizing on their employees' strengths and increasing engagement and performance.

"For me, [the Wray Performance Window™] has now connected the dots so incredibly. You have no idea what an impact it's had.
When people learn Situational Leadership they think, 'That's great,' but they don't do much with it. But now, after learning your tool, I have people coming to my desk every day with projects, saying, 'I think that I'm a one on ability [competence] and a two on motivation [commitment], so I just want to bounce some ideas off you. If you could just chime in at the end...' And I say, 'Great! You're making my life as your manager easy!'
It is a very powerful tool and has transformed our relationships. They are self-diagnosing the management style they need. Using the Wray Performance Window™ has given my direct reports a simple tool to effectively lead upwards."
