Prospective Medicine - McLaughlin Young Guiding Principle
Prospective medicine is the science of predicting health risks by assessing an individual's genetics, environment, lifestyle and access to care. McLaughlin Young applies these same principles to assessing the health of organizations by understanding:

  • Genetics - a company's foundational realities
  • Environment - the culture that determines how people treat one another
  • Lifestyle - how people lead, follow and collaborate
  • Access to Care - internal and external resources

An effective prescription starts with a good diagnosis of organizational risk.


Six Circles Model© - The Business McLaughlin Young Is In

Customer satisfaction is critically important to profitability. Many companies spend a lot of time and resources on quality improvement initiatives in an effort to increase customer satisfaction. However, they do not address the human factors that affect quality products and services.

The Six Circles Model© demonstrates that customer satisfaction happens when healthy leaders create a healthy culture. Trusted and effective leadership is the first step toward customer satisfaction and sales growth. McLaughlin Young is dedicated to the research and practice of improving the human factors, represented by the first four circles, which are preconditions to the quality that creates customer satisfaction and sales growth.


Paradigm for Profitability© - McLaughlin Young Guiding Construct
Profitability is ultimately linked to the effectiveness and productivity of its workforce. However, these goals are dependent on human factors that include knowing, respect, listening, communication and relationships. Basic yet powerful, simple yet complex the Paradigm for Profitability© is McLaughlin Young's model for predicting profitability and is the logic behind the company's products and services.

Based on scientific research, the Paradigm for Profitability© paradoxically places a company's profitability on the top instead of the "bottom line" of a hierarchical pyramid with its essential preconditions in sequential order. As shown below, the elements build one upon the other to show that the order is as important as the elements themselves. When the human factor foundation is strong and stable, effectiveness and productivity naturally follow. The result is a company that is resilient, change-welcoming and on course to realize true profitability.



Three Circles Model© - The Work McLaughlin Young Does

Whether an individual, work group or corporation, McLaughlin Young finds clients in one of three circles, which defines their stage of change. The Three Circles Model© graphically illustrates the order and content of McLaughlin Young's organizational effectiveness process.

Change starts with a presenting pain or desire. Assessment work can quickly produce insight. But, without a shared vision, planning and support, insight leads only to temporary change that comes and goes, leaving a client back in the first circle with the referred pain. McLaughlin Young facilitates the vision and planning and then supports the process by creating customized interventions that address the saboteurs to lasting change. Effectiveness measurements are tailored to reflect the focus of the organization.

Knowing: Self-assessment is required in order for individuals to truly know themselves, and before even attempting to truly know others. The development of any solid relationship, romantic, friendly or collegial, begins with knowing both self and then others.

Respect: Respect allows for consciousness raising, shared power and inclusion. An effective and trusted leader demonstrates respect through recognition and appreciation of differences.

Listening: Listening conveys that one values the unique input of others and enables an individual to become a skillful conversationalist, to inquire about topics that are of importance to employees and to convey a message of caring.

Communication: Communication is the quintessence of coordinating behavior in any organizational setting and is said to be the glue that holds together inter-organizational channels of operation. It is an integral component for building trust among associates.

Relationships: Relationships must be based on mutual understanding and trust. Through building and maintaining personal relationships within the workplace, workers feel known, respected and valued.

Effectiveness: Organizations must be effective to be credible. Organizational composition, task knowledge and prior interactions are all attributes of an effective followership which must be supported by a moral leadership.

Productivity: Maintaining productivity is the goal of all organizations. Genuine collaboration within an organization is as essential to productivity as having and managing the proper resources.

Profitability: Profitability is not just about the numbers that the organization produces at the end of the year. Instead, the organization must demonstrate a healthy, trusting environment that has the ability to evolve and adapt to increasingly demanding and challenging economic times.
