Problem

Many business owners attempt to make their teams well-rounded, expecting everyone to master every skill.

This leads to frustration, diluted focus, and inconsistent collaboration. When teams are stretched thin trying to compensate for weaknesses, energy drains and productivity stalls. Without clarity on what the team does best, alignment suffers and results plateau.

ONE Principle Insight

Every team has a unique strength.

Identifying and amplifying that ONE strength creates alignment, energises collaboration, and elevates performance. Rather than spreading efforts thin, you focus your team where they naturally excel.

This fosters trust, increases engagement, and transforms team culture from transactional to cohesive. The clarity of knowing 'this is what we’re great at' becomes a rallying point, allowing your business to tackle challenges with confidence and speed.

Quick Fix

Observe natural patterns: Pay attention to what your team consistently excels at when challenges arise. Look for patterns in problem-solving, creativity, execution, or communication.

Ask for input: Invite team members to share where they feel most energised and effective. Often, they recognise their strengths more clearly than leadership does.

Integrate the strength into daily work: Build processes, meetings, and workflows that leverage this strength, making it a deliberate part of how the team operates.
