Torque Solutions LLC, formerly known as Compass Leadership Services, was founded by Troy L. Tate. Since 1998, the company successfully has taught thousands of individuals in establishing and strengthening rapport with those inside and outside their businesses through an understanding of their needs, drives and motives of those with whom they interact. Companies receiving the training include International Accounts Payable Professionals (IAPP), Marriott Resorts, Qwest, and PRG-Schultz International. The workshops Mr. Tate has conducted with businesses on increasing performance through understanding your own and others' natural drives needs, and aptitudes have uniformly received high marks for their impact on how the attendees now can observe, understand and relate better to those with personalities that they struggled with before.

Mr. Tate graduated from UCLA Law School in the top ten percent of his class in 1982. After trying cases before judges and juries for many years, he became intrigued about how to increase his power to influence them by learning what makes them "tick". In 1998, Mr Tate turned his passions and talent for understanding and influencing people from the courtroom to the boardroom. Mr.Tate first worked with existing personality tools but found them to be lacking. So he developed his own tool and the technology to maximize its power. Mr. Tate tested and refined this technology while serving in a management position at a large publicly traded corporation and later as COO of The Abraham Group, the flagship company of Jay Abraham. Mr. Abraham is a world renowned marketing guru and author of Getting Everything You Can Out of All You've Got.

Mr. Tate is the author of The DNA of Successful Leaders: Tapping Your Natural Power to Win Friends and Influence Others, which lays out the current "DNA" techonology he has developed to maximize the influence business leaders can have in getting their teams to perform at their best.
