The first 90 days of employment determine everything — and most people walk in blind. This guide covers the behavioral realities of starting a new position: how to read the room, build trust early, and avoid the invisible mistakes that derail promising starts. Preview includes the first three chapters.
Professionalism is not about knowing which fork to use. It is about understanding how your behavior shapes your reputation before you speak a word. This guide covers presence, communication, digital conduct, and the unwritten rules of the workplace that separate performers from passengers.
A KAIROS white paper examining the gap between what employers think they are hiring and what they actually get — and why traditional interviews are structurally incapable of closing that gap. Includes an introduction to the Six Unmeasurables and the behavioral science behind KAIROS.
A philosophical and practical framework for personal accountability, grit, and behavioral maturity — drawn from Mike Frazier's book manuscript and four decades of studying what separates peak performers from those who disappear under pressure. Preview includes the introduction and the first of the Six Unmeasurables.
Critical Mass Theory maps the behavioral tipping point at which a team stops performing at individual capacity and begins operating as a cohesive unit. This preview covers the three-pillar model — The Descent, The Damage, The Reckoning — and what leaders must understand before their team reaches irreversible breakdown.
A 10-question diagnostic tool for business owners and HR leaders to evaluate the behavioral maturity of their current hiring process. Scored immediately. No email required. Results include a plain-language summary and a recommended next step based on your score.
Built on Four Decades of Behavioral Science
These are not motivational posters. They are diagnostic and operational frameworks drawn from Mike Frazier's career studying what separates high performers from those who plateau, derail, or disappear. Previewed free. Applied deeply through Peak.
Steel Spine is not a motivational concept — it is a diagnostic framework. It identifies the six behavioral qualities that distinguish people who perform under pressure from those who avoid, deflect, and disappear when things get hard. Built on the same Six Unmeasurables that power KAIROS, Steel Spine maps those qualities to individual identity rather than job role.
Critical Mass Theory identifies the behavioral tipping point at which a team either ignites into cohesive performance — or collapses into dysfunction. Most managers manage people. Critical Mass teaches leaders to manage momentum. The framework maps team behavioral states across three phases and gives leaders the diagnostic vocabulary to intervene before it's too late.
Stop Hiring Who You Hope Someone Is.
Start Knowing Who They Are.
KAIROS is Peak's proprietary behavioral hiring assessment platform — built on the Six Unmeasurables and designed to diagnose behavioral capacity before the offer letter is signed. It does not measure what people know. It measures who they are under pressure.
Available to Augusta-area employers as a standalone assessment tool or as part of a Peak staffing engagement. Individual candidate screening also available through Kairos Hire.
The behavioral dimensions that determine whether someone will thrive — or merely survive — in your organization.
