Role-based talent assessment (RBA) identifies and organizes how people interact in teams. When people unite around a shared purpose, powerful momentum develops. The group members experience a deep-seated drive to contribute, whether it's strategizing for the future, safeguarding institutional knowledge, or simply ensuring the team's smooth operation. CollabGenius's Role-Based Assessment (RBA) measures this innate "attraction" to fulfilling the group or team's needs. Most people have a specific way they want to serve their team. This is their "Role.” Ten essential Roles must be filled to meet an organization’s needs. A Role describes the whole person and who they are: • What they don’t want to be • What they are willing to be • What do they want to be They include: Founder = Provides the vision for the organization. Vision Mover = Takes the vision into strategic reality. Vision Former Takes the strategy, evaluates it, and makes it into a concrete plan with high standards. Action Mover = Implements the concrete plans and makes them successful. Action Former = Organizes ongoing implementation of the plan and ensures progress. Explorer = Looks ahead, anticipates what the team will need, and brings in even more. Watchdog = Takes resources as they come in, delivers them where they need to go or changes what you have into what you need. Communicator = Creates community by expertly keeping information flowing in, out and around the company. Conductor = The troubleshooter who fixes problems before they grow and strives to make things right - The ability to fix things, not in a mechanical sense but in a conceptual sense. Curator = Repository of the organization’s wisdom and experience. People have been seen as a conglomeration of their skill sets, IQs, and resumes. That's over, and now the valuation of teams as a living entity will surpass the outdated focus on experience—the emphasis on casting a wider net on opportunities. RBA is derived from a set of practical teaming metrics, including: • Role: a person’s affinity for specific modes of service to the needs of a team • Coherence: expressed as positive, flexible, constructive teaming behaviors • Teaming Characteristics: individual styles of responding and relating to others, subject to situational context • Role-respect: the unique manner in which people of different roles experience appreciation and respect • Role-pairing: known, replicable synergies between specific roles • Role-fit: an appropriate match between a person’s role and their assigned set of job responsibilities • Team-fit: structuring a team to include the roles that are best-fit to the team’s mission Role-based language is used in job postings for desired Roles. A Role-based approach and team-building strategy recognize people for “who” they are; without question, this is now!
