The 21st century way to get things done is through team. We all share 2 things in common as co-workers;
We all have strengths
We all have weaknesses
Understanding the dimensions of each personality and skill set that each team member brings is critical to achieving sustainable success...and necessary in order to compete in the marketplace.
Leading researchers like Jim Collins and Marcus Buckingham agree that we need to maximize our strengths, yet understand our weaker areas. Talent distribution throughout the organization must first place the ‘right people in the right seats on the bus’ (Good to Great) even before a mission can be identified or accomplished. Great company leaders like Herb Kelleher, Founder and Chairman of Southwest Airlines has also shown that valuing…even loving your employees…leads to great performance of teams.
At Transcende we integrate best practices of creating high performance teams with leading edge psychometric and valuemetric science to help create clarity as to the behavioral type, drivers and talent mix that each individual brings to the team. This is the ultimate in diversity training! Understanding the unique person we each bring to the table...and how that uniqueness can be utilized by smart team leaders to build a trusting, fast and effective team is the competitive edge….and a fun way to work too!
Who We Bring to Work |
Another key reason why teams get bogged down is because we think of ourselves most of the time! This breaks down trust (I’d rather have you think about me). We can work towards a high level goal than self serving mindset that works against effective teamwork…whether it is in sports or in the conference room or in the field. Read Art Hobba’s
