The Virtual Coach I've been looking for!
What do you like best?
Cloverleaf is incredibly accurate in its forensics and insights into my team of ~15. What started off as a beta for me and a handful of my direct reports quickly accelerated to an annual subscription model. I'm in the process of evaluating for a much larger employee base throughout our organization. As is the basis of Cloverleaf, we've already identified tangible benefits among our small work group, leaders, and project managers. While some elements may seem innately elementary if someone has taken personality tests previously, Cloverleaf distills down to an individual, 1:1, or team-based impact where personality variances are not always identified, surfaced, and addressed.
What do you dislike?
So far, nothing stands out as a dislike along the lines of "it must be fixed". If anything, the consistent remarks among our team are the daily, weekly email that identified self-characteristics in addition to how best to interact with a specific colleague. It's FRIGHTENINGLY accurate to the point where, in the early days of use, individuals would send their coaching emails to the other member asking what was said, entered, shared that made the snapshot incredibly accurate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
What started as an exercise to improve project management and subject matter expert relational issues has morphed broadly into day-to-day awareness needs. We all to often forget the basics of personality differences and interpretive inclinations. Cloverleaf absolutely is that virtual and stunningly accurate coach that offers gentle reminders through the end-user's preferred notification solutions. I have personally benefited from understanding the fine nuances of individuals and what works best for both of us. Cloverleaf has also helped address the breakdown in communications, where the gap occurred, and what we can do as an individual or team to mitigate the same in the future.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
We were a siloed organization not too long ago, where decisions were only made among key executives. Sadly, this placed our up-and-coming leaders at a disadvantage to effectively project manage, make strategic decisions on their own (with the support of their subject matter experts), and stand by their work. The silo approach provided an out for lack of decision making, poor project execution, and limited accountability. Even among our small team of fifteen, project managers are more aware of their team's capabilities and their own foibles. It is both humbling and rewarding.
