Memo introducing MBS to
AlliedSignal employees
Mr. W. Charles Miller - Vice President and General Manager
AlliedSignal Aerospace
December 20, 1993

As we set new business challenges, we must also incorporate new tools into our work processes which will facilitate achievement of our goals.

Many of us have recently completed training which will enable us to use a significant new tool, Management By Strengths (MBS). It seems appropriate to share some of the basic concepts with the rest of you who will be trained in the near future.

WHAT IS MBS?

MBS is a self-assessment of our individual strengths and training to understand our communication styles, what motivates us and how we react to our work and social environment. MBS helps us to say to each other, "This is the best way to work with me and I understand the best way to work with you." MBS supports open communication and more productive interaction.

MBS is not ...

... used to put us into categories. MBS helps us to understand and use our own and others' individual strengths.

... a test. MBS assesses strengths, not weaknesses. The are no "bad" strengths.

... used to determine pay, promotion or retention.

Many of our fellow employees will choose to wear a "shorthand version" of their individual strength profile on their badges. Please, ask them about MBS. I'm sure they have a positive experience to share with you.

Mr. W. Charles Miller
Vice President and General Manager
