CAREER PURSUIT 2021

7 EXPERT ADVICE - EMPLOYMENT TALENT FREQUENCIES This visual shows a sample profile.The four numbers are called your talent frequencies and will outline what your natural behavioural talents are. They are like energy tanks and, like all tanks, will drain when that energy is sapped.The number that has an impact on your day-to-day behaviour is around 24%. We can do any of the above in any moment, but the lower scores will burn out much faster, and you will be left with zero energy in that tank. When you understand that, you can plan around it and develop a strategy to better support yourself. So, you can plan work in limited blocks of time and reward yourself with something you enjoy. Activating energy This energy tackles obstacles head-on, solves problems, and sees new opportunities missed by others. It sparks activity, drives others forward, and maximises the view of the bigger picture and the visionary future ahead. High activators have bags of dynamic and creative energy. Sustaining energy Sustaining energy is grounded in reality and understands the elements, resources, and pace required to achieve sustainable growth. This energy maximises value through the consistent application of the right effort along with persistent commitment to completion. People with this energy are very good project managers, completers, and they get things done. Inspiring energy Inspiring energy ignites the spark in others, rallying the team to support the shared vision while striving to excel, individually and collectively. It hears the voice and sentiment of the people in the team and builds engagement, rapport, and team spirit, as well as connecting with others around them and their network to rally behind the same cause. This energy maximises the talent of a group and fires them up to get moving. Refining energy Refining energy brings a sharp eye for detail, cutting through the noise and identifying risk with a factual and data-based perspective. It has the ability to assess and solve complex problems while optimising efficiency and return. This energy maximises value through analysis and the testing of solutions with a considered approach that focuses on continuous improvement. Employers using abehavioural platformsuchasContribution Compass are trying to make sure you have the right attitude and balance for the role as well as the skills. I fully support doing profiling as part of our own recruitment process, as we want to make sure the role is a good fit for the job seeker as well as the employer; it’s important to have a good symbiotic fit. Otherwise you will end up job hopping until you find something that’s right for you. It’s very hard to leave a job that’s fulfilling you. We will debrief you when you’ve done a report with us so you get the most out of the experience yourself, and this will help you to settle into your new role and develop. It will help you understand the team around you better, so any friction can be dealt with much earlier. We will show you how different profile types interview and challenge you, and we can even outline what they will be like to work with. So, whatever energy and profile you are, you have a superpower. Learn it, leverage it, and put it to good use. If you want to do a profile or enrol onto the Military Dynamics training programme, contact me for more information.
