KNOWING HOW WE “TEAM” WITH OTHERS & UNDERSTANDING TEAM DYNAMICS IS CRITICAL FOR OUR SUCCESS

Everybody knows that it’sgood to have ‘the right people on the bus,’ and to have those people sitting inthe ‘right seats on the bus,’ but this is not an easy thing to do!

The right people are the oneswhose Role is a fit to the mission of the team. Theright seat is where the job responsibilities are in alignment with aperson’s Role.

Successful group achievementdepends on how people ‘team’ with each other. In today’s organizations, teamplayers are high-quality nodes in a performance network. Business has a longhistory of focusing on people as a collection of ‘traits and talents’ each witha fixed price tag, this is a Transactional – not a Strategic –point of view.

Team Performance Analytics employ the 3 Dimensionsof Team Interaction

1.   Abilityto connect with others and form collaborative relationships.

2.   Abilityto communicate with the intent to advance the team’s mission; and

3.   Theintrinsic way a person seeks to make meaningful contributions to their team.

Average employee turnover is12%, standard HR practice calculates average turnover cost at 1.5 timessalary. But what about the effects of poor teamwork and hiring errors thatcause failed strategic initiatives, damaged relationships, lost time, lostsales, and related issues and costs? The ‘collateral damage’ of a failed hireor promotion can assume dizzying proportions.

For example, a company withan annual turnover cost of about $300k – as measured by the ‘transactional’method but the combined impact of a single bad hire, in this case, a VP ofSales cost the company over $4 million – that’s 14 times the transactional viewof turnover costs.

We have some good reasons fortaking a new approach to how – hiring and team performance issues areaddressed. There is cause for concern regarding the persistence of atransactional mindset when it comes to decisions about people impacted byhiring, downsizing, mergers, reorganizations and even Angel or Venture Capitalinvesting.

Failures are almost alwaysdue to people problems. Opusuna makes a positive impact on individual and teamperformance, and brings tremendous opportunity to minimize risks considered‘the cost of doing business.’
