Still working with stereotypes?

Sales Manager wanted. 

Yes, a routine everyday search, all over the world. But do we know what we are really looking for?

In our mission to empower Individuals and Teams to deliver more investable propositions, we often meet people who spontaneously identify themselves through their job title.

Have you ever considered how limiting and narrowing  job titles are? 

When you say “I’m a Job Title” you are rendering yourself down into an extreme simplification of a complex and diverse set of activities, perpetuating a stereotype of what you can do - and can’t do.

When we read all the way through a LinkedIn profile, we do slightly better because at least we are aware of various job roles that the person has performed. Yet even knowing this will not illuminate fully all the skills, attitude and natural drive that each of us has. 

Not knowing this means we are missing out on a great opportunity to understand what and how the people around us can contribute to an initiative, or a team.

Smart managers look deeper than job titles. They make sure they understand individual talents, as the way to encourage more effective team performance.

fitter for PurposeTM designed Impact PotentialTM to illuminate the unique combination of value-adding know-how, attitude and drive that each individual brings to an initiative, project or unit that you are leading or guiding.

Knowing your team's IP creates transparency through a common language, identifies potential for development and highlights the sources of team power. IP is the missing insight that leaders and managers need to guide their teams to more success.
