5 DYNAMICS
Three things are inescapable in leadership: you’ll always have lots to do and you’ll always have people to engage with and you’ll always need to make a positive impact in order to get where you need to go. It’s not going to slow down; the intensity is going to speed up. It’s becoming more important than ever to be an efficient and effective collaborator. So what can you do? Getting in front of your systems and schedules, surrounding yourself with good people, and…optimizing the way you use your energy are foundational to creating positive effective leadership.
Imagine knowing how to optimize your energy for engaging in different types of activities, so that you shorten your action time, and feel better doing it. Imagine having a better understanding of how to engage with people of different energetic preferences, so that you can work with them more effectively and have a better presence. How much more productive would you be? And how much more effective and relationally intelligent would you be? What would that do for your leadership effectiveness?
The 5 Dynamics tool is a very easy to use 3 minute assessment that you take online. The tool actually assesses how you are physiologically wired to process information and tasks. For the same reason that you and I will see different things in one of those magic pictures, you and I will also process information and have different preferences for how we like to learn, engage, collaborate and get things done. You also have certain cycles of energy that are better matched with certain activities – if you don’t know these, and address them pro-actively – you’re missing a huge opportunity, likely doing things that are not the "best use of you", and probably feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. On the other hand, you’re engaging with others who have different energetic cycles and preferences, as soon as you take this test, knowing yours, you already have greater insite and emotional intelligence in how to deal with others. Automatically making you a more aware and compassionate leader.
The 5 Dynamics Tool is a great resource to determine how you are wired (it is NOT about competence, but rather physiological energetic preferences), and what the best use of your energy is in getting things done and collaborating with others. This is a great tool for individual awareness as well as fantastic for teaming, project management, matching people with the right roles and much more.
