“Focus at your strengths, not your weaknesses, and follow your flow!”
The two biggest challenges that companies face today is in navigating the paths of both sustainability and growth.
Within Talent Dynamics, we see a company as a living system. In the same way that the health of a complex living structure like the human body can be reduced to the sustainability and growth of the many cells within the body, each sharing the same DNA, the health of a company can also be measured and transformed through these two components.
Growth, leverage & flow
Within the Talent Dynamics Square, their are two opposites of how value is created. There are also two opposites of leverage. Leverage is the driver of profitable growth, and comes from an understanding of how to always achieve more with less.
Within Talent Dynamics, growth is achieved through leverage, and leverage is measured through flow.
Every Talent Dynamics profile has a different area in which we provide flow to others, and in which we are most in danger of blocking flow. For example, a Creator will add flow to the creative process, but is the most likely to cause a block in the flow of timely execution.
Too often, teams and companies have paths of flow to get things done that are far from optimal, as they navigate around individuals or even entire departments that others have found to block flow. With Talent Dynamics, these paths can be unblocked and realigned with radical changes in efficiencies, productivity and measurable growth in revenue and profit.
The Talent Dynamics Square
The Talent Dynamics Square gives us the relationship between the eight Wealth Profiles. Think of it like an eight-sided mountain, where there are different rivers flowing down each side. Each of us has our own flow, which naturally links our dreams to our reality.
The square shows the two opposites in the way we think and the way we act. Some of us think more with our ‘head in the clouds’, where create value through innovation. This is the ‘Dynamo’ energy on the top of the square. Some of us think more with our ‘ear to the ground’, and are more ‘sensory’, creating value through timing. This is the ‘Tempo’ energy at the bottom of the square.
Some of us act more through people, and are more extrovert. The natural way to leverage is to magnify. Some of us act more through data, and are more introvert. Their natural way to leverage is to multiply.
The eight profiles fit around the square, each with a different balance of how they most naturally think and act. You will find that everyone has a profile and a natural path to success. These four energies are also related to the four seasons, spring, summer, autumn and winter.
