 | | I.D. stands for Instinctive Drives™ and it represents a revolution in the search to uncover what makes each of us tick. Creator of the I.D. System™, Paul Burgess believes that ... "... everyone has their own innate and instinctive 'natural operating system’, regardless of conditioning, upbringing, attitudes or beliefs".
I.D. is the only tool in the world that can identify what that is - with stunning accuracy. Your I.D. identifies: What you NEED to be able to act, to feel fulfilled and to make decisions What your natural, inbuilt TALENTS are Where your VULNERABILITIES or blindspots lie.
The tool is powerful in a personal sense for each individual who gets to know their I.D., but let's take a closer look at how powerful it can be to understand these things about the people we work with every day ... I.D. identfies what a person NEEDS to be able to act, to feel fulfilled and to make decisionsConsider how powerful it is to know what you and your colleagues need to be able to act. You have the recipe, right there in front of you, in black and white, for getting the job done - and done well! Imagine if you understood that your colleague who always seem so negative at the suggesion of new ideas just needs some time to think the idea through for themselves, a chance to assess the potential risks and think about how to get around them. Imagine realising that if you gave them some time, even just a few minutes, instead of standing over them for an answer in the moment, you could get a completely different response, a positive one! That's the power of I.D. I.D. identifies where your VULNERABILITIES or blindspots liePerhaps most powerfully of all, knowing your I.D. brings into focus where your vulnerabilities and blindspots lie. Our consultants work on these with each individual, in a safe and non-threatening way. We talk about the I.D., so we're not pointing the finger at the person. You may have a boss that moves at a million miles an hour, jumping onto the next thing before the team has even had a chance to deliver on the last. There might be a colleague that you find particularly difficult to work with, because they're always adamant that their way is the only way to get things done. These are exactly the kind of vulnerabilities our consultants discuss with your boss or colleague, but we highlight the issue through the I.D. We safely point out how their I.D. impacts on others and what that can mean in terms of how others perceive them, then we provide practical strategies to help them address the issue. That's the power of I.D.I.D. identifies what your natural talents are How much of what we do at work is actually against our grain? How much time do we waste putting off tasks that have no appeal for us? While there's a way for every I.D. to do anything (you just have to find the right trigger), how much more productive would teams be if they knew how to leverage every talent in the team? And how much more motivated would each team member be if they were working on the things that really gave them a sense of fulfilment? Chances are you have someone in your team who is naturally gifted at scoping out projects, laying out plans and timelines, understanding exactly what is needed to get the job done and seeing potential hiccups ahead of time. But if it's not 'their job' or they haven't spoken up, you are wasting a valuable talent that could ensure success delivery of your projects. That's the power of I.D. |
