In the same way that trust has five aspects, flow also has five aspects. While we may trust a team member to be great at analysing the details, we may still feel their contribution will slow down the process and so we will avoid getting them involved.
Our talent grows when we deliver more value in the area we are most trusted, and we accelerate flow by mastering our ability to leverage that value.
In Talent Dynamics, there are five aspects of flow and each of them comes more naturally to each of the five frequencies. Here are the five aspects of flow:
Initiative
This is the degree to which your team experience that you consistently contribute your ideas and plans for improvement effectively such that they add to the success of the company. Dynamo frequency profiles naturally contribute the greatest flow in this area.
Respect
This is the degree to which your team experience that you consistently collect and share suggestions and feedback from customers and partners with the team for effective action, resolution and improvement. Blaze frequency profiles naturally contribute the greatest flow in this area.
Presence
This is the degree to which your team experience that you consistently invest the time to be present for the team, and to be proactive in seeking and finding solutions to improve the well being and harmony of the team. Tempo frequency profiles naturally contribute the greatest flow in this area.
Discipline
This is the degree to which your team experience that you consistently maintain a high level of caring and sharing in how you manage time, performance, measures and financial responsibility. Steel frequency profiles naturally contribute the greatest flow in this area.
Perseverance
This is the degree to which your team experience that you consistently work with the end in mind and find paths to success for the team and company without giving up. As each profile builds their awareness and mastery of their spirit frequency, they will contribute at increasingly higher levels in this area. This keeps the team in flow through every
season and the transitions between them.
The Talent Dynamics Barometer is a 360 degree review in which each team member receives feedback in each of these five factors of both trust and flow. From this, they gain visibility of the areas in which they can most rapidly grow sustainable value for the benefit of the team. The team as a whole also sees where they have the biggest gaps in trust and this will often inform them on the additions they need to make in the team to enable everyone to perform at a higher level.
