Building a Strong Team through Core Values and the People Analyser
Summary:
In this video, Kerry emphasises the importance of selecting exceptional team members based on core values. The examples shared by her underscore the significance of companies standing by their core values. Core values are the guiding compass that shape a business and its culture.
These values exist below the surface and must be discovered by a leadership team to define the essence of the business. One way to do this is through the “People Analyser” tool. This tool helps determine if the right people are in the right seats within the organisation, using a simple scoring mechanism of plus, plus-minus, and minus based on how well individuals align with the core values.

How do you pick great people? We do that by looking at our core values because the core values are the guiding compass that actually makes your business and your culture what it is.
When you discover who you are as a business and as a leader, you will discover those core values. And in fact, once you do discover that, you’ll find that the people in your business won’t be surprised because they share them. So that’s where you’ve got the right people.
But if you have people who subscribe to those values and seem apprehensive, then those are the wrong people. So, how do you find the right people and the ones which are not right? I suggest using the “People Analyser” tool. This is a tool that we use to work out who we have in the organisation that are the right people and are they in the right seats. So how we do it is, we have first of all, we’ve discovered our core values, we put those core values at the top of our tool and then we put the names of all your people down the left-hand side. So, we just use a simple scoring mechanism with a plus or a plus.
A plus means that they live at the core values most of the time because none of are perfect. Plus-minus means that they sometimes do and sometimes don’t.
Minus means that most of the time they don’t live that core value.
Using the values that we have in we can then look at the scoring system and see if they are in the right spot for the organisation.
