#330: Maintaining personality and values balance in a team.

from The Thoughtful Leader Podcast with Ben Brearley · host Ben Brearley

Is there a "perfect" balance of personalities and values in a team? In this episode, Ben explores the idea of diversity through the lens of personality and personal values. Inspired by a question raised during an authentic leadership workshop in Perth, he discusses why teams benefit from differing perspectives, but also why too much misalignment can create friction and dysfunction. Ben also explains the role organisational values can play in shaping culture and helping leaders create stronger alignment within their teams. Key Takeaways Diverse perspectives can improve problem solving and team discussions. There is no perfect formula for balancing values within a team. Organisational values can help attract people who align with your culture. Leaders should avoid trying to engineer the "perfect" team dynamic. Values discussions can improve authenticity and alignment at work. Memorable Quote "There's no engineering solution that's going to give you the perfect specification on the values balance in a team." Resources Mentioned Download the free Useful Values Journal.
