BEST ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
Sometimes you need help to evaluate capabilities and best roles and responsibilities among your top performers. Who would shine in each role? You may wish to assess this as a team. That’s where we may recommend implementing a simple, fun tool developed by the cultural anthropologist, Angeles Arrien, a Universal Preferential Shape Test. This tool is quick, easy, non-threatening and often a good team building exercise. It specifically indicates who on the team, during a next 1 – 2 year time frame, is best at:
- Assessing needs, creating stability and solid foundations. They are great at developing long lasting systems, meeting deadlines.
- Seeing the wholeness of a project through. Give them space to bridge build, create collaboration, they shine and deliver.
- People skills. Put them in charge of connecting, communicating, expanding your network and speaking your message.
- Seeing into the future and planning steps to achieve it. These are the Visionaries you want to assign the 5 year plan.
- Keeping things lively. Ready for change, doing and seeing things in new ways. These are the Change Makers.
Let us help you grow your team talent using this unique instrument which can be implemented individually or in a group format such as a workshop or planning retreat.
TURN DATA INTO ACTION
Assessment data is typically well received by most respondents. Long-lasting change based on the information, however, takes application to increase both self and other awareness, and to apply this to business performance. This developmental piece is of high value no matter the level of the professionals—from onboarding team members to the C-Suite. You want to develop high-performers. So 1) assessment data plus 2) feedback and 3) individualized applications accompanied with developmental coaching to accelerate business outcomes is key for long-lasting, well-integrated learning. When you are ready we’ll discuss best options to achieve your desired outcomes.
