Through Greenbeam, we’re able to remove a lot of the guesswork around having the right mix of personalities in your people and creativity, agility, and productivity in your teams. We do this by providing personality testing for all candidates or employees and matching them to their Archetype.
Greenbeam’s unique Archetype model is informed by the Big 5 personality profile of an individual. There are three Archetypes: The Doer, the Creator and the Translator, and each of these play a crucial role in contributing to the creativity, agility and productivity of a team. The ‘right’ mix of Archetypes required for a team or organisation depends on task requirements, work environment and team or business maturity.
Doer
Doers are the worker bees. They like to get things done and strive in process driven, structured environments. They enjoy being able to execute and deliver on tasks, projects, and other responsibilities, and can become hyper-focused on whatever they’re working on.
Creator
Creators are the big ideas people. They think on their feet, crave solutions to problems and are capable of considering all the consequences. They think outside the box, typically have less resistance to change, and don’t necessarily need structure or process to operate efficiently.
Translator
Translators are the essential connecting component of every team. They’re able to discuss and understand the ideas of a Creator and translate them into executable actions for the Doer. They look at a project, delegate tasks, and then bring all the puzzle pieces together to deliver a final product.
Why Archetypes matter
All three Archetypes are essential to create happy and high-performing teams – and that’s where the magic lies.
Knowing someone’s Archetype gives everyone a better understanding of who they are and how they respond to the world around them. Finding the right balance of Archetypes for a team ensures you have the personalities, skill sets and natural abilities required to achieve your goals.
Benefits
Personality testing of candidates and employees enables them to better understand themselves and what makes them tick in a professional setting.
By learning individuals’ Archetypes, people can be matched to the right teams and empowered to do the type of work they excel at.
Archetypes act as an employee handbook for HR on how best to connect with, work alongside and manage each individual.
Over time, team requirements can change based on tasks, work environment and organisational maturity. The Archetype make-up required can be mapped and adapted based on those requirements.
Teams can change over time to require different make ups of Archetype according to task requirements, work environments, and team and/or business maturity.
