Dean Taylor is a Chartered Psychologist with over 16 years’ experience applying psychology in industry and the public sector. His key areas of expertise are Emotional Intelligence, Leadership assessment and development, and Team Development. He has an MSc in Applied Psychology from Cranfield University and is currently studying for a Masters in Applied Positive Psychology.

 Dean founded IDEA Psychology (whose mission is “to release the potential within people and teams for greater creativity, improved performance, and increased happiness”) in 2007, where his work focuses on individual and team development work, using Emotional Intelligence as one of core models influencing leadership and personal effectiveness. He is an accredited trainer in the BarOn EQi and EQ360.

 Dean's expertise in this area comes not just from his practical experience of applying Emotional Intelligence in organisations over the last ten years, but also from his academic understanding of the field of positive psychology, EI's place within that field, and the positive psychological interventions that facilitate effective change in EI.

 He shares his passion for positive psychology – the science of optimum performance and well being, not “the tyranny of positive thinking” - in his training and consultancy work, and his EQi courses are about much more than 'how to interpret a test'; they are a step on the journey  towards helping others realise their potential.

 Before founding IDEA Psychology, Dean's worked in EU-funded research into management selection in Eastern Europe, after which he spent 3 years in the UK Civil Service designing and implementing assessment processes for recruitment. He then spent 10 years in a business psychology consultancy, where his work varied across training, assessment and leadership development in public and private sector organisations up to board level.

Over the past 30 years, Dick has gained valuable experience developing and leading teams—from the battlefield to the boardroom. Dick specializes in the use of the EQ-i in conjunction with other psychological instruments to help individuals and organizations move into the high-performance zone. He has published numerous articles, training manuals, books, and software on these topics. Some of his books include The CommunicationWheel®: A Resource Book, Jung's Function-Attitudes Explained, Introduction to FIRO Element B in Organizations, and Introduction to the CommunicationWheel®.

Dick has created several assessment instruments, such as the Assessment of Basic Leader Effectiveness®, a series of 360° multirater assessments, and the Communication Preference Questionnaire™. He has also developed software scoring and interpretation programs. Emotional intelligence, FIRO, and psychological type theory are integral parts of Dr. Thompson's work and ongoing research. The CommunicationWheel® is just one of many useful tools he developed to facilitate the use of psychological type in organizations. He is a recipient of the Mary McCaulley Lifetime Achievement Award for work with the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator instrument.

Dick and his team of professional consultants provide dynamic cutting-edge training, consulting, and assessment on a range of practices including leadership, teambuilding, organizational development, and systems thinking. This work includes the integrated use of tools such as the EQ-i®; EQ-360®; MBTI®; FIRO-B®; FIRO Element B™, F™, and S™; multirater assessments; CPQ™; CPI®; and WSI™ (Complexity Quotient) that incorporate a combination of distance learning, classroom learning, and on-the-job training.
