Paradigm Shifts in Team Dynamics

Your company's paradigm comprises a distinct set of concepts or thought patterns, including standards for what constitute legitimate contributions to the business.

Teams get conditioned to established ways of working and, overtime, sometimes rigid dynamics with colleagues.

"This is the way we do it here."

All companies are at distinct evolutionary cycles, whether it be start-up, growth, or unicorn. At each stage however, HR professionals are concerned with retention, productivity, and engagement.

Why are paradigm shifts important?

We are passionate about causing paradigm shifts in team dynamics because they enhance retention, productivity, and engagement.

1. Retention is crucial because the average cost per hire is around $21,000 and it takes an average of 82 days to fill in a vacant position (source Majer Recruitment)
2. Productivity is often a missed opportunity due to disengagement. Highly engaged teams, in contrast, are 14% to 18% more productive than low engagement teams, on average (source)
3. Engagement A recent Gallup analysis found that 48% of America's working population was actively job searching or watching for opportunities with 55% of the workforce being classified as "Not Engaged"

If we don't cause a paradigm shift, your business might be a statistic

Shifting team dynamics is not about embarrassing “icebreakers” or “getting the most of out of our teams”...it is about Leaders being equipped with the language and tool-sets to bring out the best from their teams on a daily basis. This is the responsibility of leadership not the employee.

It’s about your boss walking up to you and acknowledging you for your natural talent, your unique flair, and for your contribution to the team. It’s also about your boss giving you what you need.

As certified Strength Coaches, we employ Gallup's CliftonStrengths assessment to achieve our outcomes. This assessment gives insight into how you think, feel, and behave. I like to call it a professional deep and meaningful that unpeels all the layers that we didn't know about each other as colleagues. 

Our client outcomes:

• unlocking team productivity.
• increasing employee wellbeing and engagement. 
• development of communication approaches that take strength dynamics into account. 
• coaching business leaders to appreciate both the needs and contributions of employees from a strengths-based approach. 

We make your employees feel like they belong.

We show your leaders how to "see" employees for who they are.

We help businesses align employees to the right roles.

If you are interested to bring this type of thinking to your business, please get in touch.
