Needs Assessment | Is TGG the Right Fit? | Thurman Group Global

What We Look For
Before We Say Yes

TGG does not take every organization that contacts us. We build embedded partnerships that require real investment from both sides. This assessment helps us understand whether we are the right fit for your specific situation.

Healthcare Leaders

Is Your Health System Ready for This Conversation?

The organizations that get the most from TGG are not in crisis. They are high-performing systems that recognize burnout, communication breakdown, and leadership gaps are the next frontier for measurable improvement.

💥
Turnover and burnout are measurable and rising
You can see the cost of attrition in your data, and clinical leadership is struggling to hold teams together despite competitive compensation.
🗣
Communication breakdowns are affecting patient outcomes
JCAHO findings, near-miss reports, or patient satisfaction scores are pointing to interpersonal and communication issues at the team level.
🎯
You need documentation, not just a workshop
Your CNO, CMO, or board wants to see measured outcomes. You need a partner who delivers pre/post data, not a one-day event.
📅
Leadership development has been reactive, not strategic
Training happens after problems surface. You want to build the emotional infrastructure that prevents the problems in the first place.

Academic & Higher Education

Does Your Program Need Documented EQ Outcomes?

Accreditation bodies are asking for evidence of communication competency, interprofessional collaboration, and student readiness. TGG builds the program and produces the data your next site visit needs.

📊
Accreditors are asking for communication competency data
CAPTE, LCME, or other bodies have cited communication, professionalism, or interpersonal competency in your last review cycle.
👤
Student retention and persistence is a priority metric
You are measuring why students leave and finding the reasons are not academic. Emotional resilience, self-advocacy, and peer connection are the real gaps.
🎓
Faculty need development, not just students
The culture of the program is shaped by the emotional intelligence of the people leading it. Faculty EQ development is often where the most leverage lives.
📚
You want a publishable, presentable model
The FMU partnership has been presented at SCOTA. A TGG program gives your institution a conference-ready case study with pre/post EQ-i 2.0 measurement.

K-12 School Leadership

Is Your School Ready to Build a Culture That Lasts?

Most school culture problems are not policy problems. They are communication and emotional intelligence problems at the leadership level. TGG works with heads of school, board members, and staff teams to build the internal infrastructure that sustains culture.

🗣
Staff culture is eroding despite strong mission alignment
People believe in the school but something keeps breaking down in communication, conflict resolution, and team cohesion. The mission is not the problem. The relationships are.
🏛
Board governance is creating friction, not clarity
Board meetings are inefficient, emotionally charged, or creating pressure on the head of school. DISC and EQ training at the board level changes the dynamic.
🌟
You want a leadership development program with depth
Not a retreat. Not a speaker. A 5-month embedded program with measurable outcomes and tools your leadership team actually uses every week.
📚
Your head of school needs development, not just the staff
The most effective investment is at the top. When the head of school has a higher EQ, the entire culture shifts within months.

Pastors & Ministry Leadership

Is Your Ministry Team Running on Empty?

Ministry leaders carry an extraordinary emotional load. Compassion fatigue, staff conflict, and the inability to hold boundaries without losing empathy are not spiritual failures. They are emotional intelligence gaps that TGG addresses directly.

💦
Compassion fatigue is affecting leadership quality
The pastor or key staff members are showing signs of emotional depletion. Sermons feel mechanical, pastoral care feels draining, and the joy of the work is diminishing.
🤝
Staff team communication is creating friction
Personality conflicts, miscommunication around vision, or passive conflict between ministry leaders is affecting the culture your congregation experiences.
🌟
You are developing the next generation of leaders
You have young leaders in the pipeline and you want to equip them with the emotional tools before they step into high-exposure roles. Prevention is more effective than repair.
🏚
The congregation is growing and so is the complexity
Organizational growth brings emotional complexity. More staff, more volunteers, more personalities, more conflict. EQ training scales culture intentionally.
