PeopleBest Offers Team Comparison Report

PeopleBest Offers Team Comparison Report

Today’s teams are more diverse, dispersed, digital and dynamic. This creates a growing imperative to move information and energy through the organization and reduce friction that slows progress. How do leaders build trust and attentiveness in their teams on what matters? How can the team stay ‘on point’ during strategic shifts?

These questions and more are on the minds of organization leaders. We take the challenge of equipping leaders seriously. In times of rapid change and dispersed work, real-time insights are imperative. The PeopleBest Team Comparison report addresses these questions and more by bringing behavior intelligence so that managers can plan and decide their best moves. This simple yet in depth view can even help the leader assign reps to the type of clients they are best suited to serve.

Take a recent sales organization client who was tasked with increasing the number of signed contracts from small to large-scale accounts.  Management wanted to understand how to optimize productivity and personalize their approach to coach and mentor individuals. We reviewed diverse styles of team members in areas such as engagement, workstyle and interpersonal.  The engagement quadrant view showed the ‘ideal range’ in light blue and plotted individuals on the graph.  We discovered that some team members worked best with structure and defined processes. Others were highly responsive and their effort were “all-in”. There are advantages and disadvantages to both groups but now the managers were able to personalize training, coaching and feedback to optimize future performance.

We also looked at a comparative view of key sales competency strengths which showed who needed training on areas such as presentations skills, negotiating and closing the sales process.  It also identified team members that excel in those areas so they could provide real-time mentoring of peers.

Every business leader wants skilled and capable team members — that goal is a given. But managers must be able to unify the diversity of talent around common goals by providing clarity on responsibilities and expectations. The Team Comparative reveals differences in motivators and workstyles and can facilitate assigning small teams to solve problems, with individuals that complement one another and collectively will build a better solution.

PeopleBest Launches Growth & Fixed Mindset Competencies to Navigate Organization Disruption

Mindset influences how we think, the risks we take and how we respond to workplace situations. Adjusting our thoughts and beliefs to overcome obstacles or envision breakthrough strategies starts with belief.  

A person’s mindset is determined by a set of perceptions and beliefs that influence how they think, feel and behave in any given situation.  PeopleBest measures Fixed and Growth mindsets and how they connect to job requirements.  This insight strengthens leaders to coach and develop others and effectively address culture change.

Fixed mindset is a frame of mind that seeks validation to ensure ideas are heard and efforts are noticed. Someone with a growth mindset has more freedom, free to break down limiting beliefs and create a path forward. To assess someone’s mindset, PeopleBest measures how much individuals limit themselves and how much they rely on external approval. PeopleBest also determines how individuals view their failures and whether they prosper when facing a challenge. 

Every person experiences a mix of mindsets — each ingrained to varying degrees. Self learning will break down where improvements need to be made and reveal how  new habits can be formed.
