I Want to Create a Better Team
Creating synergy from conflict™
The challenges that today’s teams face can be daunting. Teams are often created using only skills and experience as a selection tool which can lead to loss of effectiveness due to conflicts in personality, lack of tolerance for different approaches to problem solving or the inertia of too much sameness and not enough diversity of talents.
Your team members bring three important kinds of power to your organization.
Knowledge, Skills and Aptitude (Cognitive)
What they have learned, what they have the ability to learn, what they do well and what skills they could develop if given the opportunity.
All too often business hire, assign responsibility and reward performance based only on what people have already mastered. We help business look beyond current skill sets and strategize methods for tapping into the potential of their #1 resource – people!
Values, Attitudes and Beliefs (Affective)
Their motivation, optimism, conviction and commitment.
At Pure Synchrony we know that the motivation to buy into the company and take ownership of their role must be directly tied to the freedom to succeed personally. What does it matter if your people have the right skills, experience, knowledge, expertise and instincts if they aren’t committed to the success of the company? We can pinpoint areas of organizational and individual stress and prescribe solutions that free you and your employees to make that commitment to personal and group success.
Mental energy, instincts, natural talents (Conative)
Their abilities to create solutions and their drive to take action.
Everyone has instincts that determine how they will naturally take action when they are striving toward a goal. Understanding and leveraging those instincts, freeing your people to make the most of those instincts and grouping people to create the most instinctive synergy is key to overcoming conflict and multiplying the positive energy of your team.
How can Pure Synchrony help you tap into all that People Power?
Kolbe Assessments, Individual Interpretations and Team Success Seminars
Matching people to tasks and tasks to people.
The process starts with a complete understanding of each individual’s instinctive MO. This is their natural mode of operations that is innately instinctive and is central to working toward successfully increasing knowledge and skills or improving outlook and attitude. The tool we use to delve into this type of People Power is the Kolbe A™ assessment. This is the only tool that assesses striving instincts and how people naturally take action.
Your Certified Kolbe Specialist may conduct a dynamic workshop to provide an interactive way to explore the workings of specific teams within your company. These Team Success Seminars™ use the Kolbe A™ Indexes of the team to identify each team member’s instinctive strengths and stresses, explore how team members’ strengths play off one another and assess strategies for team success. We will identify causes of conflict and prescribe ways to use those differences to create synergy within the team.
The process continues with Individual Interpretations and consultations to integrate all three aspects of each individual’s potential; the Cognitive (their knowledge, skills and aptitude) the Affective (their motivation, attitude and values) and Conative (their striving instincts and modes of taking action.)
Along the way we may also recommend further Kolbe A™ assessments to determine how the employee views their job requirements and how their supervisors view the requirements of the position. This can help us target disconnects between how the role is perceived by both the employee and the employer and the individual’s natural strengths and talents. These Kolbe A™ assessments can identify causes of tension and strain within an organization and prescribe solutions before valuable talent is lost through employee burnout and turnover.
Continued Coaching for Success
Team leaders, key employees, managers and business owners will all benefit from ongoing coaching and career development. We’ll continue to build on all three aspects of their People Power to facilitate professional growth.
Team and Key Person Coaching builds on the talents of your team and allows them to explore and internalize how to best contribute to the organization and how to create synergistic relationships and workflow. Your strategic action plan becomes a reality more quickly and continues to be more sustainable when your people understand their roles and how best to fulfill them.
Right Fit™ Hiring
When you do need to add a player to your team we’ll ask you to determine that the candidates have the desired knowledge, skills and experience. Then we’ll help you screen for values, attitudes and motivation and use Kolbe Right Fit™ hiring methods to predict success in recruiting and retention by comparing the necessary instincts for a role with a person's natural instincts. It's a system that gives employees the best chance of success. Kolbe RightFit™ is Kolbe Corp's innovative, proven placement tool that makes hiring the "right" person much faster, less expensive, and far more effective.
