A Legacy of Innovation

A Legacy of Innovation

For over fifty years, Cleaver Company has been bringing excellence and innovation to the world of human capital optimization.  Founded in 1956, our original Cleaver DISC Profile is still considered the industry standard DISC tool and is utilized in over one thousand companies worldwide.

As a young industrial engineer, John P. Cleaver observed that two out of every three working people were unhappy with their jobs. Low productivity, negative attitudes, absenteeism, and accidents were costly results of poor job compatibility.  It was costly for the companies and unrewarding for the employees, thwarting the economic goals for both.

Cleaver revolutionized management technology by blending two disparate disciplines; the logic and efficiency of industrial engineering with the emotions and varieties of human behavior. The result was a People Management System with its own new language for communication and a set of tools for measurement of job compatibility and motivation.

Today, Cleaver Company is a creative management resource firm considered a leader in methods for managing people. It serves executives by building their companies to achieve growth and profit objectives and develops their individuals to gain job satisfaction, productivity, and career succeed.  These two forward thrusts are inextricably inter-related and enhance one another. Properly applied, employees progress and the companies profit, a winning situation for both parties.

The tools and strategies utilized by Cleaver Company were developed in the real world of industries, offices, and sales territories and are therefore highly efficient and practical business solutions.
