LIFO
Background
LIFO
– LIFe Orientation
Developed by Dr. Stuart Atkins
The LIFO concept is currently owned
by BCon – one of the largest
consultancy companies for business
management in Japan
LIFO has been used by more than 7
million users from over 20.000
companies throughout the world
When completing the LIFO form,
remember:
LIFO
is no test – there are no right
or wrong, good or bad answers
Answer the questions to describe
yourself as you are NOW – not how
you would have liked to be, or how
you used to be before
How to fill in the form
Tear
off the sheets after completion
Estimate 20 minutes to complete the
survey and 5 minutes for summing
up the numbers
LIFO’s golden rule
We
are not ONE thing or something
else, but…
We are ONE thing AND something
else
The numbers
The
numbers go from 9 to 36
30 or more means that you maybe
use your behavior style more than
you need
17 or less means that you maybe
use your behavior style less than you
need (blind spot)
Analysis of results
The
highest number indicates your
most preferred behavior style
The lowest number indicates your
least preferred behavior style
Numbers within 3 of either the
highest or the lowest numbers can
also be defined as most/least
preferred styles

What can LIFO be used for?
1.
Confirmation:
– Build confidence and self-esteem by
understanding and appreciating your
behavioral styles and strengths
2.
Moderation:
– Avoid excessive use of your most
preferred behavior styles so that you
avoid a waste of time and energy in
work/communication with others.
3.
Expansion:
– Learn to be more versatile in your
approach towards other people and
problems by using more of the
strengths in your least preferred
behavioral styles.
– Seek help from others with different
behavioral styles to fill your own blind
spots.
4.
Bridging:
– Improve your communication with
people that are different from you by
matching your approach to their most
preferred way of communication
LIFO’s second golden rule:
Do
to others like you want others to
do to you
