People can be competent, talented, driven and really smart, but still show up with a personality that triggers counterproductive dynamics in teams. We call this the missing metric because it’s about something no one wants to talk about. It’s about taking responsibility to master your unconscious patterns of personality so you show up as the best version of yourself. This requires internal character strengths. Some say this can’t be developed, but the team at Tilt365 have proven otherwise. Internal character CAN and should be a priority in all people development cycles.
Through 20 years of research Pam Boney beleives you should hire for it, you should train for it, you should measure against it and you should fire those who have proven to be uncoachable. Otherwise, they will have a huge negative impact on the climate for others.
The Tilt 365 suite of tools turn human energy into innovative output. Good people create a climate of Trust, Integrity and Personal Responsibility. In such a climate, team members feel safe to take risks, express their imagination & ideas and thrive in the freedom and autonomy created by empowerment and meritocracy.

And in today’s rapidly changing business economy…
Agility is the new meta-competency. Competence is no longer enough. Change is just going to happen and if you don’t disrupt yourselves intentionally and regularly, then you will inevitably get disrupted by someone else. Staying ahead of inevitable disruption by educating your team about how to handle it gracefully and powerfully. This requires good people who understand shared leadership – the new model for leadership in a complex environment. In this age it is more essential than ever to ensure you have good people who possess the internal strength to let others lead if the context calls for it. This is no time for ego-based interactions and sensitivities. Good people don’t participate in hidden ego-agendas and politics. In short, the new model of shared leadership requires inner character strength and simple, consistent mindfulness practices that help them stay present and centered.
There is good stress and bad stress. But, even good people can react under pressure and stress….and when they do, they need a little support to get back on track. Great leadership requires balancing the tension between stability and change. A delicate balance can tip your team into bad stress. With too much stability, the resulting stress comes from stagnation. With too much change, the resulting stress comes from chaos. How’s your team doing? How are you doing? Everything you do is contagious, so we always say “check yourself first” before you look around.
The 4 tell-tale signs of scarcity-based stress:
1. Overwhelm: (Stress reaction is Flight)
From: Too much change, too many initiatives, moving too fast.
What if your team had greater strength in Perspective, Focus and Diligence?
2. Resistance: (Stress Reaction is Freeze)
From: Passive resistance to change, inaction due to lack of alignment.
What if your team could let go to embrace Openness, Inspiration & Creativity?
3. Conflict: (Stress reaction is fight)
From: Distractions and energy drained by negative dynamics.
What if your team were more passionate with Integrity, Boldness & Confidence?
4. Resentment: (stress reaction is blame)
From: Passive resentment about cutbacks and loss of trust in leadership.
What if your team was known for unbeatable Trust, Consideration & Likability?
