In today’s market, hiring isn’t always the solution—and quite frankly, sometimes it’s a distraction. The real win? Getting more out of the people you already have.

Now, I don’t mean working them harder. I mean working smarter—together.

The organizations thriving in the current market aren’t the ones throwing bodies at problems. They’re the ones using behavioral data to align their people, improve communication, and reduce inefficiencies. They understand that productivity doesn’t come from pushing—it comes from positioning.

A Misaligned Team is an Expensive Team

When your team’s behavioral styles are in conflict, communication gets messy. Tasks get repeated. Frustration sets in. Suddenly, projects take twice as long—and morale takes a hit.

But when you understand how your people are wired—how they naturally lead, follow, communicate, and decide—you can design your team to thrive.

This is what we do every day with the DISC and Motivators Abelson Report.

We don’t just hand you a report. We help you place your people on the Abelson Team Behaviors Wheel so you can see the blind spots, overlaps, and missing links in your current team dynamic.

Sometimes the fix isn’t hiring someone new—it’s realigning roles, shifting communication styles, and giving the right people the right tools.

Efficiency Doesn’t Mean “Do More.” It Means “Do Right.”

If your instinct is to add more to someone’s plate, pause. Ask instead:

• Are they in the role that fits their strengths?
• Are they motivated by what they’re doing?
• Are we communicating in a way they actually hear?

This is where assessments become very powerful. A skilled team building facilitator can use the Abelson Wheels to give leaders clarity of the behaviors of all the people in their team—and clarity drives efficiency.
