Show Notes:

Unique Ability® without a clear goal or purpose:

  • Unique Ability® Teamwork thrives when each team member is focused on what they love to do best.
  • However, without a clear goal, intention, or purpose, the strengths and talents of team members can go astray, or worse, sabotage the work of the overall business.
  • This can lead to individuals pursuing their own interests rather than working toward a common goal.
  • Over time, team members accustomed to a lack of direction may develop an entitlement attitude and resistance to being pulled back in.
  • Impact On Team Performance:

    • Without clear leadership and direction, Unique Ability Teamwork may result in individuals contributing their intellect but not their full commitment or passion.
    • Projects may suffer from delays, lack of creativity, and a lack of coordination among team members, akin to a rowing team rowing out of sync.
    • Solution:

      • Shannon suggests a proactive approach. Leaders should:
        1. Double-check their own clarity on goals and intentions.
        2. Communicate these clearly to the team.
        3. Ensure alignment through open conversations.
        4. Using tools like The Impact Filter™ can help articulate purpose, importance, ideal outcomes, and success criteria, fostering a shared understanding and commitment among team members.
        5. The collaborative approach opens projects up to the collective intelligence, as different team members bring diverse insights and considerations to the table.
