Your personal energy mix....
•
Energies above the half way point
are most evident
•
Special focus on the most and least
energies....
Your Preference Flow
•
Look at your position on the Insights
Wheel in your Discovery Profile
Your Preference Flow
Graph I – the Conscious Persona
•
that part of the personality where who
we are interacts with who we are
expected to be
Your Preference Flow Graph II – the
Less Conscious Persona
•
the more instinctive “you” the “you”
when you are not controlling the way
you present yourself to the world
Your Preference Flow (middle graph)
•
the degree to which the public
persona (who you see yourself to be)
(Graph I) pulls you from your more
instinctive “you” (Graph II)
•
determines which preferences are
currently having a major impact on
your work style and which are having
less

Blindspots
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Do not consistently use blend of
preferences
Need to generate a funnel of ideas and
prioritise them
Do not commit and then see through to
the end
Green leader – drive for harmony =
procrastination (e.g. conference)
Size of SCLT drives decisions out of the
meeting
Debate dominated by a number of
individuals
NIM vs NUK + CPUK
Don’t communicate enough what we
are doing
Clicks within (pre-alignment) to decision
(lobbying)
FRG Transparency
•
•
•
Insular – not too open to external SC
input
Lack of diversity of the team
SCLT being demonised
Opportunities
•
•
Define the purpose and role of the SCLT
and focus (scope in NIM/ not in NIM)
Define goal and then all align on one
goal
–
•
Good communication strategy  drive
engagement
–
•
•
Immediate conference issue
Align to engage the teams
Agree how to manage FRG (linked to
first action)
–
•
•
•
•
Get subgroup to decide
Paradigm shift needed (put people first and think
diversity)
External connectivity
Diversity
Long term visioning
Share skillsets and learn from each other
e.g. Ireland market
Other
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
No need to involve everyone in
everything
Get blend right for the right task
Better understanding of each others’
perspective
Call out behaviours/ challenge over
indexing
What is the right role/ size/ shape of the
SCLT to best deliver – define this
What are we about – what is our end
game? E.g. in G.C. much more
productive
Use Insights diversity to deliver
Engage the ‘outsider’
