  • What Happens When Your Talented Team Lacks Direction?

    What Happens When Your Talented Team Lacks Direction?
    Jul 11 2024
    Do you feel as though you have a really talented team but that not everyone is aligned on the direction you’re going? In this episode, Shannon Waller describes how a lack of leadership can be undoing your team’s potential. By the end, you’ll learn practical strategies to ensure that everyone is on the same page, working toward a common goal. Download Episode Transcript Show Notes: Unique Ability® without a clear goal or purpose: Unique Ability® Teamwork thrives when each team member is focused on what they love to do best. However, without a clear goal, intention, or purpose, the strengths and talents of team members can go astray, or worse, sabotage the work of the overall business. This can lead to individuals pursuing their own interests rather than working toward a common goal. Over time, team members accustomed to a lack of direction may develop an entitlement attitude and resistance to being pulled back in. Impact On Team Performance: Without clear leadership and direction, Unique Ability Teamwork may result in individuals contributing their intellect but not their full commitment or passion. Projects may suffer from delays, lack of creativity, and a lack of coordination among team members, akin to a rowing team rowing out of sync. Solution: Shannon suggests a proactive approach. Leaders should: Double-check their own clarity on goals and intentions. Communicate these clearly to the team. Ensure alignment through open conversations. Using tools like The Impact Filter™ can help articulate purpose, importance, ideal outcomes, and success criteria, fostering a shared understanding and commitment among team members. The collaborative approach opens projects up to the collective intelligence, as different team members bring diverse insights and considerations to the table.

Download Episode Transcript Show Notes: Personality profiles and assessments are essential, reliable tools for anyone hoping to understand their own or someone else’s motivations, needs, and natural strengths. They provide a road map for building trust and providing effective support. In a fast-paced work environment where personal interactions are limited, profiles offer a shortcut to quickly gain insights about your team members—like what you can expect from them, their strengths, and their motivators—that would otherwise take significant time and effort to uncover. When used correctly, profiles shouldn’t box people in, but rather generate insightful questions and deepen understanding, fostering teamwork by aligning team members’ motivations and strengths with their roles and responsibilities. By understanding and appreciating the complementary skills of those on their team, individuals can leverage one another's strengths to produce exponential results. Profiles are also a valuable hiring tool, especially for roles in sales or leadership. These profiles include: Kolbe A™ Index: Measures conative strengths or natural tendencies in problem-solving and productivity. Working Genius®: Identifies where individuals naturally excel in a project's lifecycle, from ideation to execution. CliftonStrengths®: Highlights individual talents and potential areas for development. DISC: Provides insights into personality traits related to work style and interactions. PRINT®: Reveals underlying motivators and how they influence behavior in professional settings. Resources: Kolbe A Index Working Genius CliftonStrengths DISC Profile PRINT
