Combined team Team Description: Transition Profile

General Description As indicated on the Transition or Balanced Team graph, most of the scores for this profile fall in the MidRange section of the graph. A Mid-Range score normally indicates that the team members have a balanced mixture of traits from each end of the continuum for that factor. The Balanced team is the most flexible of all the team profiles and usually includes several team members who can fulfill most roles to which that team may be called upon to fill. Because of the balanced mixture of traits, the Balanced Team does not have specific descriptions of work behavior since the team is composed of many different profiles.

This team is not afraid to take risks or impose its will on the larger organization through strong action in order to move ahead in its field of endeavor.

Some members may tend to be impulsive, blunt, or overbearing. Preferred Activities To maximize the talents of this team, assign it to situations in which the team can have a high level of independence, with obstacles to overcome, challenges to meet and solve, and without many details to handle.

Communication Style Communication from this team is usually direct and may be forceful, getting to the bottom line quickly. As a result, other teams and individuals may see this team as demanding, impersonal, and dominating. Stress Factors Driver teams experience stress whenever they are unable to control their environment, especially their direction, purpose, goals, and activities. Financial Management Teams with this profile typically delegate the day-to-day tracking of cash flow. They agree with the logic and organization of accounting and budgets, but are distracted by repeated detail work. Budget and Financial Issues Teams with this style may tend to make impulsive financial decisions based on immediacy, without anticipating the consequences of their actions. They are less concerned with making the right decision, because they believe that they can make their decision right. Suggestions for Managers A team with a Driver profile will have several individuals with the same profile and others with similar profiles. It is likely to be excellent at being in charge of program or projects especially when given the opportunity to conceptualize solutions and be in control of the process. Teams of this type will be especially effective when the goal is clear but the specific process is not defined. Because members of this team are likely to be very competive, dispersing them physically on a day-to-day basis may allow them to be challenged and motivated to develop smaller teams and lead them to accomplish the goals. Persons in a Driver team will thrive in situations where they have has considerable autononmy to proceed and is given support and clear objectives. As this team's manager it will be important to keep the lines of communication open to insure that the program or project is on tract and to assure that the creative energy is well directed. This type of team is very accountable and will strive to meet deadlines, however, those in leadership of their own teams may need to be reminded that their team members work best with positive reinforcement and feedback on the reason for the pace of the operation.

In many situations, team members may take things apart in their minds and think about ways to do them better. They may also tend to see those around them as projects, rather than as people. Ideal Environment Teams with this profile function most effectively with opportunities to get results, direct, research facts, critique and improve, think and process, be in control, create and develop, initiate solutions, design new procedures, and collect information. Typical Areas of Strength An Analyst team is typically analytical, logical, direct, confident, and ready for new challenges. Team members excel at seeing the larger vision, creating efficient methods and procedures, and listening carefully for the facts. Typical Areas of Struggle Teams with an Analyzer profile will likely have members who may show a lack of sensitivity to the feelings of co-workers due to a tendency to focus on tasks. When sharply focused on a task, members of this team may come across as being overly critical, judgmental, blunt, or impatient with others.

Communication Style This team tends to provide insights and direction by teaching, managing, clarifying, and advising. Stress Factors Analyzer teams tend to experience stress when others try to move them in directions that seem illogical, untruthful, or inefficient. They feel anxiety if they do not have sufficient time to plan or have control over their duties. Financial Management Analyzer teams typically excel at budgeting and keeping records. Ensuring accuracy and keeping the accounts up to date are enjoyable activities for them. They may even volunteer for this task to make sure it is done right. However, since this may not be the team's corporate responsibility, the team may have to monitor rather than totally maintain the accounts. Budget and Financial Issues Teams with this style tend to use finances according to pre-established expectations and comply with budgetary limits as they carefully control their outlay. They typically are very adept in using their talents to produce sound financial planning and management. Suggestions for Managers A team with an Analyzer profile will have several individuals with the same profile and others with similar profiles. Analyzers are natural organizers and administrators and will respond positively and effectively to Management's push to achieve results if the organization requires a faster completion to a project. Management can depend on members of this team to be valuable additions to the organzation who can offer logical solutions to complex challenges and who can evaluate and make necessary changes to assure the desirecd outcomes. Management may need to help the Analyzer team to reduce its drive to overanalyze details and move ahead with action steps at a faster pace. You must be able to offer a logical, truthful, or efficient explanation for an assignment in order to engage them in effective activity if there is some question about the reason for an assignment. The organzation's area of supervision will benefit from this team's ability to provide insights and direction by teaching, managing, clarifying, and advising.
