PPI's Team Analysis Turns Individuals into 'Invaluables'
You have assembled an expert
team of workers who fit their jobs well and are aligned with organizational
goals. They are high performers, and you could not be more pleased with each of
them individually.
Yet something important is off.
Jason almost never appears satisfied with answers to his questions, feedback
from his team leader—with anything, really. He is impatient and often
grumbling, and his dissatisfaction is rubbing off on others. Yet he is extremely
skilled at his job.
Jason's manager, Julie,
consistently ensures her team is performing superbly by meeting deadlines and
communicating well with internal and external clients. But there is friction
between these two key players, and you have big plans for the team: a project
that they will spend most of the year developing before presenting to external
clients.
You have a nagging feeling about their chronic inability to get along
because you have seen small irritations between two people fester and grow
until culminating in a huge blowup that threatens the entire team. So right now, before you
involve Julie's team in the new project, step back and assess. Literally. Take
a few minutes to examine the source of the friction and figure out how to dissolve
it before it dissolves this high-performing
team.
Profiles Performance Indicator™ and its Team Analysis Report are the
prescribed methods of finding the underlying cause of conflict on your team and
improving communication. Its reports may help you form a new team, or figure
out how to enhance Julie's leadership skills so that the friction disappears.
