These performance studies
illustrate successes our clients can attribute
to Adversity Quotient® (AQ®) solutions.
Client: MP Water Resources
Sample:
Top 60 company leaders
Overview:
MP Water Resources has branches in 11 states, including Florida,
where it is the largest water utility. Leaders had their AQs measured
and then received training to enhance their AQ and performance.
Three follow-up measures of AQ were conducted. Each person was rated
by his or her supervisor on performance on a scale of 1–10,
with 10 being the highest. The initial AQ training was 1.5 days.
The Phase 2 training, 6 months later, lasted one-half day.
Results:
AQ both correlated with and predicted performance at MP
Water Resources.

Client Comments
“I have witnessed a fundamental improvement
in how my people deal with challenges, setbacks, and adversity.
As my company has been besieged with record rainfalls, droughts,
and statewide fires, the AQ training has not only visibly strengthened
our people, it has dramatically impacted the bottom line.”
—Chief Executive Officer
“I have seen a significant shift in people’s
mindsets, a willingness to step up to challenges, readiness to take
ownership, and a propensity toward decisive action. I continue to
seek meaningful ways to integrate AQ deeper in the MP Water Resources
culture.”
—Human Resources
