Enhance Business Performance through individual and team profiles
Not just another personality test. The Team Management Profile (TMP) helps you and your team understand how they really work and how to work better together.
Many of us have come across personality and behavioural assessments, tools that help us understand how we think, interact, and work. While these can be insightful, they often focus on who we are rather than how we work.
That’s why, as a facilitator and coach, I keep coming back to Team Management Systems Profiles (TMP). Unlike traditional profiling tools, TMP is all about what motivates people, what you do best at work and how you prefer to do it.
Why TMP?
TMP takes a practical, people and work-focused approach. Instead of labeling personality types, it explores:
- The types of work people are naturally drawn to and are energised by.
- How we relate to others, gather and use information, make better decisions and increase productivity.
- How individual work styles fit together to create a dynamic team.
By mapping these preferences onto the Types of Work Wheel, TMP gives teams a clear picture of how different strengths contribute to the bigger picture—helping teams work smarter, not harder.
What Makes TMP Different?
Focuses on Work Preferences, Not Personality Labels
It acknowledges that people can undertake many work-related activities, and it helps individuals and teams understand their work style preferences and roles without boxing them into rigid personality categories.
Brisbane-born, Globally Researched and Recognised
Developed by Dr Charles Margerison and Dr Dick McCann experts in chemical engineering and management development with the question ‘What makes teams successful?’ at the heart of their research, Team Management Systems (TMS) and the TMP blends practical application with a deep understanding of workplace dynamics.
Encourages Individual and Team Responsibility
Teams using TMP gain valuable insights into:
- How to adapt and collaborate effectively.
- The role of communication and linking in teamwork.
- Individual responsibility in collective success.

As a team in Queensland Rail we are now well equipped to be more innovative
“Dr Cathryn Lloyd, from Maverick Minds took my team at Queensland Rail on a 3-month Innovation Program. We learned about our team’s collective and individual work profiles and how that can be used to enhance creativity.
Cathryn guided us through different innovation models and gave us an innovation toolkit to apply to problems. We were able to practice our innovation and creativity skills on four practical issues facing the team where we saw opportunities for improvement.
Cathryn was able to expertly transfer her knowledge and enthusiasm to us through two workshops and numerous coaching sessions. We feel that we are now well equipped to be more innovative in the future.”
