Using Abelson Reports – Comparison Report: What is it and what does it do?

By: Dr. Michael Abelson

Ever want to have a report that focuses on how two different people can work better together?  Or ever want to measure how much the same person has changed their behavior or what motivates them over time?  And what if the same report works well for onboarding new staff either as a coach, a manager, or a team leader?  Our comparison report was developed to do all of these things.

The length of the report depends on the number of sciences you want to look at or compare.  The report has information from two people on the same page of the report.  For example, one page has “How to Communicate” with each of the two people.  It is a set of bulleted items that are great for having conversations with others.  The next page is “How NOT to Communicate” with both people on the report.  The report consists of 15 to 25 pages of these comparisons.  The more sciences, the longer the report.  It is a fantastic report.  

Let’s visit the report and one of the many pages; the How to Communicate page.  This page gives a list of as many as a dozen ways how to communicate with the person.  On the comparison report, there are two lists, one for each person looked at by the report.  How to use the report is very easy.  Step 1: turn to the “How to Communicate” page.  Step 2: read all the items listed for you on that page and circle the check mark or bullet in-front of those items you agree are true. Step 3: share the items you marked that you want to discuss with the other person who is also on the report with you.  Step 4: both of you discuss how you are going to use this information to better communicate, interact, and work with each other.  Take notes or not.  It’s that easy.  As a coach, how might this help you work with a new client?  As a manager, how might this help to work with a new staff person?  There are dozens of ways this one page is useful.  Imagine having a dozen or so pages, each this useful.
