No man is ever complete in skills and interests,
but everyone has a natural energy that flows
in a given direction. This direction defines
the type of work that will motivate him/her,
triggerring effortless
passion and efficacy.
Natural energy is often an « opening
energy » :
the uncovering of consumer or client insights,
the ability to discover
an opportunity, creative intuition to always
find new routes,
or the sense of tying contacts with new partners.
Natural energy can be a « closing
energy ».
This may be the sense of absolute details in
project or in financial
management, the sense of reality in engineering
or the ability
to make tough decisions and stick to them.
When you uncover the natural energy of associates
, when you
assign them roles that leverage it, when you
focus on what they
do well rather than on gaps, when you build
complementary teams,
you create the most powerful engine for your
organisation.
- In 2000, Coca-Cola Belgium achieved international
recognition
within the global Company, with some of its
teen programs being
presented to the top 200 executive during
an exceptional
« life house » innovation
forum.
- Most of this work was delivered by an incredibly
powerful team,
pairing a young brand manager that had an
intuitive understanding
of teenagers - and spent his nights in the
music world - and a
seasonned marketing manager with a solid sense
of reality.
Amazingly, none of them had even a chance
to build those
programs alone, yet the team dynamic allowed
each to give the
best of his own strengths, and trust the skills
that he did not
possess to the other.
