Leadership debt tells us what went wrong. Personality can help us repay it. |

What happens when a business grows faster than its leaders?
In this article for Business Age, Facet5’s Sean Coxon explores the idea of leadership debt – why it builds up, how personality plays a part and how understanding our natural strengths can help leaders adapt as organisations grow.
A great read on why effective leadership development starts with understanding the person behind the leader.

We talk all day.
Why do we still misunderstand each other? |
|
|
|
Most of us spend a fairly large part of our working day having conversations. In meetings, one-to-ones, team calls, quick questions and online messages that somehow become conversations of their own.
We talk a lot. . . well, I do, some would say incessantly!
And yet, somehow, we can still finish a conversation with two completely different understandings of what was agreed or even why we were involved. We can also discover that the thing somebody really wanted to say never got said, or realise that we hadn't quite understood the question and solved something not needing solving. Which has made us think about something fairly simple: Talking to each other and understanding each other are not necessarily the same thing.

Great teams don't just happen. They take understanding, trust and a little insight into what makes everyone tick.
Facet5 Team Development puts personality at the heart of team performance, helping teams communicate better, navigate challenges and bring out the best in each other.
Choose from flexible half-day, full-day and two-day options – and we’ll tailor to your team's goals and challenges.

Better conversations start here

We spend so much of our working lives talking, but how often do we stop to think about whether we're really understanding each other?
From listening, before jumping in with solutions, to making space for different perspectives, small changes can make a big difference to how teams connect and work together.
This month's Team Tune Up; Better Conversations, brings you four practical activities, complete with facilitator guides and conversation cards, to help teams get more out of the conversations they're already having.
Four conversations. Four fresh perspectives. Plenty to get people talking!

We're always looking for ways to make our products even better, and SpotLight is the latest to get a little refresh!
Following feedback from Practitioners and clients, we've updated the SpotLight report layout to give each of its five domains its own page, making it easier to read, navigate and explore.
We've also added subfactor labels to help individuals connect their insights to their development.
The familiar content and Strengths, Risks, Frustrations and Challenges framework remain unchanged – it's simply a clearer, more accessible experience.
Practitioners, the updated SpotLight report is live now via ‘Report Downloads’ and in myFacet5. No action needed!
And don't forget, personalised SpotLight Coaching Notes are also available through myFacet5, giving individuals even more to explore alongside their profile.
