15-Step Ladder as The -Trippel -Test

Application

The – Triple -Test aims to highlight the connection between your work energy/quality of life and 15 central reward factors related to your own value creation, such as:

  1. Security – material needs such as food, safety, environment, and health

  2. Belonging – the rules and expectations for social relationships and social codes

  3. Trust – the conditions for growth, self-realization, and competence development

Our definition

All employees act as leaders when they take responsibility and contribute to developing Security, Belonging, and Trust.

To indicate your own work energy in relation to value creation, mark each of the statements with a circle around one of the numbers 0, 1, 2, or 3, based on your personal and subjective assessment right now.

  • 0 = improvement needed

  • 1 = should be improved

  • 2 = good

  • 3 = very good

If you are unsure, choose the lowest value.
Your total score is then placed on the Communication Ladder.

15-Step Ladder as The -Trippel -Test

In our work developing leaders and organizations, we have chosen to align all surveys, analyses, employee dialogues, and similar tools—now totalling 45—with two fundamental performance parameters: communication and basic needs.

When it comes to needs, we distinguish three main groups, often described as a hierarchy. The most primary and immediate needs – Security conditions, form the foundation of the hierarchy, while social relationship needs – Belonging conditions, support the second level, which is concerned with self-realization and growth in the last and third level – Trust conditions.

Each level also requires different forms of organization, which in turn demand different styles of communication like Blue on the first levet, Red on the second level and Yellow on the third level. (see the Communication Ladder). These communication styles shape distinct leadership cultures within organizations.
