Profiling and Team Building

Profiling and Team Building

When any group of people work together, the team leader and most of the employees are each competent and capable of doing their jobs. However, many challenges can occur if an awareness and leadership emphasis on the “people factors” is missing. When not addressed in the beginning, this dynamic often takes on a “life of its own” as people instinctively compare themselves and make decisions about other people based on their own biases and prejudices of what is “right” and “wrong.” They become defensive, want to be right, look good and not be dominated or controlled by others. They take up sides.

When we add another layer of people’s own personal challenges and agendas – i.e. long drives to work in traffic, family challenges, people holding out on their real feelings, trust not being sufficiently built, and trust levels being violated due to jealousy, lack of understanding, etc., etc., etc. it is no wonder that personality clashes and chaos become the standard or norm – rather than the exception.

Each problem can be solved and none of this need occur when an organization is PeopleSmart. Leaders can create a comprehensive Job Description for each role, clearly defining its behavioral as well as skill requirements. The right people are placed or promoted into the right jobs and everyone knows how to win at work. Performance reviews become a time for growth and development when people Smart policies, procedures, rules of the game, and rituals are clearly in place.

When meetings can be held where a “safe space” has been created, people feel free to share their “real” feelings and handle issues responsibly as they came up – without fear of reprisal. Without this in place, chaos happens with every people issue. Good employees leave and the team leader or owner often has to go back to “square one” – especially if, on top of it all, undetected or innocent mistakes in hiring have been made in the first place.
