This is, perhaps, an acknowledgement that previous initiatives have not met the mark because the people side of change was underestimated or not factored in.
The document provides an overview of Facebook's rise from its launch in 2004 to becoming one of the largest social media and advertising platforms. It traces key events and launches in Facebook's growth such as introducing ads and pages in 2006 and 2007. The document then discusses how public relations principles can be applied to social media strategies, including knowing your audience, staying on message, building relationships, and being responsive. It provides examples of how traditional PR tactics like media relations, internal communications, and crisis communications can utilize social media.
How Does Organisational Change Really Happen? #influencers Albion
This document summarizes initial research conducted by Albion and Ashridge on organizational "Influencers", individuals within large organizations who drive novel and lasting positive change in unconventional ways. They interviewed 11 senior Influencers from diverse sectors who described themselves as comfortable outsiders driven to achieve big goals and leave a legacy. Influencers build social movements to drive cultural change, are restless change-seekers but patient, and use different tactics based on personality. Their success depends on having just enough power, luck, and support from top management. Next steps are to develop propositions to help organizations and Influencers work together, and test these ideas with businesses.

3. Welcome to Talent Dynamics
In the following report you will learn what it means to be a Deal Maker profile. What is the purpose
of this report and the Talent Dynamics system? The principle behind Talent Dynamics is that
individuals, teams and companies are at their best when they are in flow. Put simply, flow is your
path of least resistance. When you are in a team in flow, productivity increases, results improve
dramatically, you have more fun and feel more connected to the organisation. The purpose of this
report is to explain how Deal Makers get into their flow by staying focused at what they do best.
In this report you will recognise the strengths and challenges of your profile, and see what you
should – and more importantly should not – be doing to stay in your flow. We also cover how
your profile links to the other profiles, so you can begin to appreciate the people around you,
how to bring out the best in them and support them towards their own natural paths. You will see
that Talent Dynamics is far more than a profiling tool. It is a language which allows you to tune
in to where trust and flow is occuring within your own performance, within your team and your
company, in a way that shows you how to create more of both.
If you think of the eight profiles as eight games that are as different as basketball is to football or
baseball, you can see that each one has different rules, different parameters and different winning
and losing formulas. In basketball, you’re told to pick up the ball and not to kick it. In football,
you’re told to kick the ball, not pick it up. In models of leadership we constantly get contradictory
advice and neither is wrong, it’s just they are referring to different games.
While many profiling tools exist, Talent Dynamics provides an explicit path to building trust
and flow. It allows us to identify role models to learn from, identify our strengths, challenges,
and how they relate to others. Talent Dynamics shows us how each profile relates to the
stages within team formation, the cycle of growth within a business, and the trends within
markets. No matter how well we may have operated in the past, shifts in the cycle can lead to
our winning formulas becoming losing formulas. Within this report, we will also see how the
different profiles differ in leadership styles, learning styles and in their natural communication style.
Knowing your Talent Dynamics profile is the first step within the Talent Dynamics pathway. Use
this profile report as a compass within the map provided by your Talent Dynamics Consultant.
Enjoy the journey,

Your Primary Profile Description
In Talent Dynamics, you have one primary profile and two complementary, secondary profiles.
Each is a different path with its own set of rules. The two secondary profiles serve as ‘wings’ to
the primary profile. The pace you move at and the waves you make will depend on how much of
your time you focus on your primary path. Your primary profile is Deal Maker and your secondary
profiles are Supporter and Trader.
Summary
Deal Makers are the best peacemakers and will leave everyone feeling good. Don’t expect

As Donald Trump said, “I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the
present. That’s where the fun is.”

Successful Deal Makers don’t try and shape their surroundings to suit them but shape themselves to suit their
surroundings, listening and learning before acting. Whether it is David Geffen in Hollywood, Donald Trump
in New York real estate, or Rupert Murdoch in media every successful Deal Maker has picked a single area
fromwhichtoattractthebestdealsintheirmarketandcreatethemostvaluableconnections.SuccessfulDeal
Makers include Donald Trump, David Geffen, Masayoshi Son, Henry Kravis, and Rupert Murdoch.
The Art Of The Deal
With a sensory dynamic, Deal Makers are reactive, acting on the right opportunities as
they happen. On the lower, right corner of the Talent Dynamics square, Deal Makers
can be found connecting people wherever they go. Deal Makers can also be found
wherever there are stars or products that are worth representing and sharing with others.
While others may burn relationships to build bridges, Deal Makers will burn bridges to build
relationships. After all, who needs a bridge when you are the bridge? Deal Makers are the great
connectors and the best ones understand how to grow value for everyone with every connection and
introduction they make.

6. DEAL MAKER
Your Primary Profile Description
Let’s Do Lunch
Deal Makers are in their flow when they spot the differential in the deal. While Traders will
multiply the trades and control the spread, Deal Makers will control the deal and magnify the
spread. As a result, a Deal Maker can make a billion dollars in just one deal. A Deal Maker’s
natural communication skills put them in this position and for this skill to shine; they need to
be in front of people. They will always add far more value negotiating over a salad than over
a spreadsheet.
Deal Makers are natural communicators, influencers and negotiators. They have a great sense
of timing. As a result, they can easily become intoxicated by their own success, looking for
each deal to be bigger than the one before. This trend, however, is often the undoing of a
good Deal Maker, who will go one deal too far and get burnt badly before they learn their
limits.
How Deal Makers Lead Best
Deal Makers are people people, but they are more private than a Star and
prefer to work one-to-one. Don’t expect Deal Makers to stick to a plan and
expect them to come back from a meeting with a very different outcome
than expected. But a much better one. Deal Makers lead best when they are
able to be in constant conversation with their ear to the ground, not isolated
from the crowd or stuck in the back office.
How Deal Makers Communicate Best
Deal Makers need to hear all sides so communication is always in stereo. Masayoshi
SonbecametherichestmaninJapanbybringingAmerica’sbiggestInternetbrandsinto
Japan, benefiting the American companies and benefiting the Japanese consumers. As
each side of the equation grew, so the deals grew. Communication to a Deal Maker is
also about what’s not said. As Donald Trump says, deal making is an art, not a science.
Atthecriticalmomentwhatyousayandhowyousayitcanmakeallthedifference:you
can lose a million by what you say, and you can make a million by saying nothing at all.
How Deal Makers Get Into Flow
All sports stars, movie stars and rock stars have agents and deal makers
representing them. Deal Makers get into flow by having a strong brand or
product to talk to others about. They love to recommend others and get
into their flow when not focusing on themselves. Deal Makers shine when
given a project or task to gain support or enrolment for; when they can speak
passionately on behalf of the needs of the team.

9. An Overview of Talent Dynamics
Talent Dynamics ‘in a nutshell’
Two challenges that companies face today are
walking the paths of sustainability and growth.
Look at a company as a living system. In the
same way that the health of a living structure
like the human body can be reduced to the
health and growth of the cells in the body, the
health of a company can also be measured and
improved through these two aspects.
Growth, Leverage and Flow
On the Talent Dynamics Square, there are two
different ways to create value. There are also
two different forms of leverage. Leverage is the
driver of profitable growth and comes from an
understanding of how to achieve more with less.
Within Talent Dynamics, growth is achieved
through leverage, and this is measured through
flow. Every Talent Dynamics profile has a
different area in which they provide flow to
others. Every profile also has an area where
they can block flow. For example, a Creator
will add flow to the creative process but is
also the most likely to cause a block in the
flow of timely execution.
Too often teams and companies have paths
of flow to get things done that are far from
the best. They must navigate around people
or entire departments that often block flow.
With Talent Dynamics these paths can be
unblocked and adjusted with radical changes
to efficiency and productivity. This provides
measurable growth in revenue and profit.
Sustainability, Value and Trust
Within Talent Dynamics sustainability
is maintained through value, and this is
measured through trust. The moment we
lose trust we cease to see value and flow
ends. Every Talent Dynamics profile has a
different area in which they are naturally
trusted and specific areas where trust breaks
down. For example, a Creator can always be
trusted to come up with new ideas but not
always to complete on time or to reliably
follow through on routine tasks.
It just so happens the area we are most
trusted in is also the area we naturally move
to because it’s what we love most. Building
teams that enable us to trust each member’s
natural strengths while supporting each on
their weaknesses grows trust to the level of
the team and further to the company. This
builds value which leads to sustainability.
The Power of Flow
Talent Dynamics begins by looking at
the flow of talent to ensure each team is
maximising the talent in each member. It
then extends to the impact on the flow of
communication, knowledge and resources.
This expands to the flow of commercial
value, cash and capital.
As in a living body the flow within each cell
will have a direct impact on the flow and
health of the entire system.
“Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses. Follow your flow!”
8
10. What is the purpose of the Talent Dynamics Square?
The Talent Dynamics Square gives us the
relationships between the eight Talent Profiles.
Think of it like an eight-sided mountain, where
there are different rivers flowing down each side.
Each of us has our own flow, with natural ways in
which we think and act.
The square shows the two opposites in the way we
think and the way we act.
Some of us think more with our ‘head in the clouds’,
where we are more ‘creative’. We depend on our
imagination.
This is the ‘Dynamo’ energy on the top of the square.
Some of us think more with our ‘ear to the ground’
and are more ‘sensory’. We depend on what we see around us.
This is the ‘Tempo’ energy at the bottom of the square.
Some of us act more through people and are more extroverted. This is the ‘Blaze’ energy on the
right side.
Some of us act more through data,
and are more introverted. This is
the ‘Steel’ energy on the left side.
The eight Talent profiles fit around
the Talent Dynamics Square. Each
has a different balance of how they
most naturally think and act. You
will find that everyone in your team
has a profile and a natural path to
success.
These four energies are also related
to the four seasons, spring, summer,
autumn and winter.

The Eight Talent Profiles
Creator Profile
Creators are the best initiators. Although they can be quick to create chaos they
can be surprisingly innovative at finding ways out of chaos. Put them in charge
of new projects but move them on to the next creation once their job is done.
Star Profile
Stars are the best promoters. They need to lead from the front. Give them the chance
to shine and give them the space to deliver results without tying them down. Give
them the systems and support to enable them to focus on building new business.
Supporter Profile
Supporters are the best leaders. Don’t expect them to come up with the plan. Build
a plan and set the goals with a Supporter and then let them lead the team towards
the plan. Let them set their own management style and their own agenda.
Deal Maker Profile
Deal Makers are the best peacemakers. They will leave everyone feeling good. Don’t
expect them to go out cold calling as they thrive on building the relationships they
have. Work with Deal Makers to nurture the customer and relationships you have.
Trader Profile
Traders are your best negotiators. They always know what systems and which
people will provide the service and support to cement a satisfied and loyal
customer relationship. They work best when given clear parameters to work within.
Accumulator Profile
Accumulators are your best ambassadors. They are reliable, get things done on
time and are not prone to making rash decisions. Accumulators make the best
project managers when a specific task needs to be delivered reliably.
Lord Profile
Lords are your best analysts. Give them the space to study the detail and to deliver
the data. Don’t ask them to go out and network, spend time building relationships
or in negotiations as they are strongest when focused behind the scenes.
Mechanic Profile
Mechanics are your best completers. They will wrap up the process and find
smart ways to do it better next time. Don’t ask a mechanic to start from scratch
but give them an existing process or product to improve on.
Accumulator Profile
Accumulators are your best ambassadors. They are reliable, get things done on
time and are not prone to making rash decisions. Accumulators make the best
project managers when a specific task needs to be delivered reliably.
Lord Profile
Lords are your best analysts. Give them the space to study the detail and to deliver
the data. Don’t ask them to go out and network, spend time building relationships
or in negotiations as they are strongest when focused behind the scenes.
Mechanic Profile
Mechanics are your best completers. They will wrap up the process and find
smart ways to do it better next time. Don’t ask a mechanic to start from scratch
but give them an existing process or product to improve on.
12. Where does the system come from?
Created by Roger James Hamilton, Talent
Dynamics is an extension of Wealth Dynamics
– a unique personality profiling system for
entrepreneurs, which is currently used by over
80,000 entrepreneurs around the world.
The history of personality profiling
Talent Dynamics is based on a long history
of tradition and research. It comes from a
5,000 year-old Chinese system of thinking
called the I Ching, which was developed and
recorded by a series of Chinese emperors
and teachers. The I Ching made its way to
the West when Richard Wilhelm published
his definitive translation in 1923. In the early
twenties he spoke on it at a Psychology Club
in Zurich, attended by Carl Jung,
JunghadexperimentedwiththeI-Chingbefore
meeting Richard Wilhelm and he drew upon
it heavily for his book ‘Psychological Types’
(1921) and his theories on ‘Synchronicity’ and
the ‘Collective Unconscious’. Jung pioneered
psychometric testing in the West and his
work is the basis for many psychometric tests
available to companies today.
The five natural “frequencies”
Talent Dynamics is unique in that it links the
missing elements that Jung chose not to include
from the original thinking in the I Ching. The
ancient Chinese philosophies describe five
natural “frequencies”, each of which is linked to
a season (one of which is called “spirit”). These
energy types are described by character traits
that we can see easily in people around us.
“When you follow your flow,
you find yourself.”
Each of us has a mix of these energies that
contribute to the whole of who we are.
You’ll see this mix reflected on the diagram
with your talent profile results. You’ll find
each of the “frequencies” within your own
profile graph with a percentage value based
on your questionnaire results. These relative
percentages define which one of the eight
talent profiles is your talent profile, and
which two other profiles are your secondary
profiles. On the following pages, you will see
how each of the eight profiles differs based
on their balance of the different frequencies.
The relationship of profiles to time
Unlike any other profiling system, Talent
Dynamics has a close relationship with the
cyclesoftime.Thisisextremelyvaluabletoday
in our fast changing markets. Each business
goes through eight distinct stages that relate
to the eight profiles and all industries go
through cycles similar to seasons.
As a company moves through each stage, it
requires a different type of leadership.
This notion of frequencies matching the
changes in seasons is core to the philosophy
of the I-Ching, the title of which translates to
‘Book of Changes’.
Origins of Talent Dynamics
11
13. The Five Frequencies
Our primary profile is the game we play when we are in our flow. Each of us has a primary profile
based on the balance of our frequencies. We were all born with a different mix of the five frequencies.
ThefourbasefrequenciesformthefoursidesoftheTalentDynamicsSquare.Eachofthesefourfrequencies
is a state of change like the four seasons. When you take the Talent Dynamics profiling test you identify how
muchofeachfrequencyyouhold.Thebalancedetermineswhichoftheeightgamesyouplaymostnaturally.
It is the profile that creates the greatest resonance and harmony with your natural frequencies. The more time
we invest in our strongest frequency the sooner we get into our flow. Here are the five frequencies:
The fifth frequency is what Aristotle called ‘The First Mover’, being the source to the rest. This is
the water energy which is the basis of flow. This frequency is outside of time. The five frequencies
form a cycle that begins and ends at water. Every project, business, industry, country goes through
these frequencies as they cycle from creation to completion and back to creation.
Our effectiveness changes as we resonate with our environment and as we resonate with our time.
Even in the right environment as time changes we can lose our flow. The winning formula can
become a losing formula. Great leaders recognize this and will move their teams, departments and
even their own positions to support the phase the business is in to stay in flow.
All teams have a collective frequency that sets the environment for everyone in the team. New
product development and strategy require a Dynamo team. Sales, marketing and networking
require a Blaze team. Service, troubleshooting and scheduling require a Tempo team. Financial
management, analysis and systems require a Steel team. Vision and setting culture and values
require a Spirit team. Teams will often get into flow by simply adding individuals with the right
frequency with the resulting shift increasing the effectiveness of everyone in the team.
To find the frequency of your team overlay the profiles of each team member and create a combined graph.
This will create an aggregate Talent Dynamics profile for the team. If you have done the graph with your Talent
DynamicsConsultanttheycanprovideyouwiththeteamgraphandtalkwithyouaboutusingthisinformation.

The Five Aspects of Vision
20/20 Vision
Why do we need a team? A team in flow
gives us far better vision for what’s coming.
Each of our profiles gravitates to one of the
five aspects of vision based on the question
each asks most naturally.
Dynamo provides Perspective.
– Best at asking “What?”
Perspective is related to depth of vision.
Perspective gives a deeper view of what is
possible. Perspective focuses light and sparks the
flame yet this focus can miss the elements on the
edge.Dynamosaregreatatprovidingperspective
but often at the expense of the peripheral issues.
Tempo provides Perception.
– Best at asking “When?”
Perception is related to breadth of vision.
Peripheral vision gives a wider view of what
is there. Perception includes more distinction
on what already exists. It grounds experience
in place and time yet can miss what might be.
Tempos see the wood for the trees but often
miss the bigger picture.
Steel provides Clarity.
– Best at asking “How?”
Clarity is related to the detail of vision.
Clarity can see in black and white and can
pick up detail that others will miss. Clarity can
distinguish between the different elements
of a situation yet can miss the fun in the
moment. Steels see every detail, but often at
the expense of the people involved.
Blaze provides Colour.
– Best at asking “Who?”
Colour is related to drama of vision. Colour
can make our vision come alive with variety
and vibrancy. Colour allows us to see the
rainbows in light and gives us a chance to
dance. Yet with colour we lose clarity and
can easily miss the detail. Blazes see the
excitement but often miss the detail.
Spirit gives Insight.
– Best at asking “Why?”
The fifth element offers the fifth aspect of
vision; insight. Insight transcends our two eyes
and is seen through what different cultures
have termed the ‘third eye’. Insight relates
our outer world to our inner knowledge
or in Jungian terms, our ‘conscious’ to our
‘unconscious’.
When we bring together the right team we
build the power of great vision. With great
vision we can turn great thoughts to great
action. We can turn ideas into reality.

Effective Operating Systems
“Plant a seed in the wrong place and no matter the seed, no flower will grow.”
Dressed for Success
Each of the five frequencies requires a different
foundation to flourish. If you put yourself or
any of your team into an environment that
doesn’t suit your individual profiles all success
will be short-lived. Here are the emotional
needs linked to each of our five frequencies:
Dynamo needs Significance: “Grow”
Take away significance, esteem or indepen-
dence from their operating environment and
Mechanics, Creators and Stars will leave if they
can. Provide an environment that gives them
the freedom to grow and they will work at
their best. A Dynamo’s greatest stress comes
from a loss of independence and a loss of any
prospect to individually shine.
Tempo needs Connection: “Slow”
Tempo frequency does not need
independence. Take away their connection
or comfort and they will soon react. While
Dynamo needs to fly, Tempo needs to be
grounded. When a project is moving too
fast, Tempo will want to slow it down. If
connections with customers or staff become
strained a Deal Maker, Trader or Accumulator
will want to re-connect before progressing.
Steel needs Certainty: “Know”
Steel frequency strengthens with certainty.
Invite Steel to a wild party and they will
be the first to take a rain check. Take
away certainty and discomfort sets in fast.
Performance comes from predictability. Force
an Accumulator, Lord or Mechanic to perform
without preparation in front of something as
unpredictable as people and you’ll experience
how cold winter can be!
Blaze needs Variety: “Glow”
Blaze frequency burns brightly out and about.
Variety is about people and places. Put Blaze
in a back office with a spreadsheet and the
flame soon goes out. Lock a Star, Supporter
or Deal Maker into a fixed plan with no variety
and don’t expect them to shine. Get them out
and about however and watch them ignite.
Understanding the need for an effective
environment in which to operate gives us
an insight into why those around us react
to change. Change their environment and
it changes their performance and comfort.
It also gives us the chance to communicate
more effectively.
Spirit needs Growth & Contribution:
“Flow”
The fifth element flows on growth and
contribution. As our water element grows,
our need for each new learning cycle grows
as well. The more water, the better the garden
grows. This is a choice. Some of us have
chosen to ignore this process of growth and
contribution. Some of us go from day to day
without asking ‘Why?’ We do not grow, we
do not contribute and flow eludes us.
16. 15
Leadership Styles
“The best leadership always starts from within.”
Each Profile leads differently.
There are many books out there explaining how
tobea“goodleader”.Thetruthiseachfrequency
has a leadership style that comes naturally. If you
try and adjust your style to something different
it will not only be uncomfortable, it will feel like
hard work. At critical moments you will snap
back to your natural style.
Dynamo is Task-based.
Dynamo leadership is based on driving forward
the new idea or project and knocking over
the tasks to move ahead. People, analysis and
timing all take second place to action. As
Richard Branson said, “I believe in benevolent
dictatorship provided I am the dictator.” If you
want to get things moving, put a Dynamo leader
in place. But once things are moving, move him
on to the next project and appoint a new leader!
Blaze is People-based.
Blaze leadership is based on motivating
people to perform at their best. Not the most
important thing if you do not yet have the
value in the market but once that is in place
collective communication and collaboration
become key. In the words of Jack Welch,
“In leadership you have to exaggerate every
statement you make. You’ve got to repeat it a
thousand times and exaggerate it.”
Tempo is Activity-based.
While Dynamo is about creation and Blaze
is about collaboration, Tempo is about
consultation. When Woodrow Wilson said,
“The ear of the leader must ring with the
voices of the people,” he was talking about
Tempo leadership. A Tempo leader will check
themselves and their teams against their activity,
relative to the market. Don’t expect a creative
plan from a Tempo leader. You can expect what
needs to be done to get done in time.
Steel is Data-based.
WhileTempoisaboutconsultation,Steelisabout
calculation. Where a Blaze leader can assess his
sales team by being out on the field with them
the Steel leader will know just by looking at the
numbers. When entrepreneurs such as Getty and
Rockefeller are criticized for their aloof style, it is
that style which enables them to lead from the
back, rather than from the front or side.
Having great leadership around you does not come
fromtryingtomouldleadersintoaparticularstyle.It
is about understanding what cycle your businesses

What about the Spirit Frequency?
The fifth element has a leadership style. While
the four base frequencies are based on creation,
collaboration, consultation and calculation, the
fifth frequency is based on contribution. The
fifth element, water, is the key to flow. Flow is
based on not just effective receiving but more
importantly on effective giving. Knowing “why”
we are doing what we are doing – to give it back
– leads us inevitably to our flow.
17. Team Roles and Cycles
Leadership of any business needs to evolve as the business evolves. Henry Ford said, “Asking ‘Who
ought to be boss?’ is like asking ‘Who ought to be the tenor in the quartet?’ Obviously the man
who can sing tenor.”
As the season of your business changes, ensure the right profile is leading the change. The leaders
of the most successful new start-ups are always Creators and Stars with Dynamo frequency. The
leaders of companies that are acquiring market share and market presence in a consolidating
industry are always Supporters and Deal Makers with Blaze frequency. The leaders of the most
successful companies who have already begun to dominate their niche are always Traders and
Accumulators with Tempo frequency. The leaders of companies consolidating mature markets are
always Lords and Mechanics with Steel frequency.
How do you know what season your business is in? Look at what season you have just passed
through.
Do you have a great product that has proven itself in the market? You are out of spring and into
summer. You need to focus on building your market.
Do you have many new customers and sales are coming easily? You are out of summer and into
autumn. You need to focus on servicing your customers well.
Are your customers happy and your staff settled? Then you are out of autumn and into winter.
You need to focus on building the right systems for the next spring.
The biggest error that business leaders make is when they hold on to their winning formula for too
long. The seasons soon change and the winning formula becomes a losing formula. Another error
is when they put the wrong people into the wrong position, basing the choice on qualifications
and knowledge rather than natural passions and talents.
Your choice of who should be where within your teams is as important as who should be leading
your enterprise or projects.
“Talent wins games, but teamwork and intelligence wins championships.” – Michael Jordan
Your flow comes from following your natural path. Your team momentum comes from each team
member following their natural path. Each frequency and each profile has a different role within
the team where they can be most effective. Often the best team selection is not the person who
can be most effective but the person who enables the existing team to become more effective.

18. Talent Dynamics Pathway
Understanding your profile is the first step on the Talent Dynamics Pathway. An important principle
of Talent Dynamics is that ‘you cannot get yourself into flow. Only other people can get you into
flow.’ This means that flow is not just about your profile but the profiles of those in your team.
The starting point of any business change is to agree the primary purpose of the change. This
aligns the goals of the person and the goals of the team to create a shared direction.
When looking at a business you need to identify areas where value and trust is lacking and how team
work is being blocked. Our Talent Dynamics consultants are accredited to the highest standards of
the Talent Dynamics Pathway. They can help you improve and manage performance in your teams
and business to create direct, measurable results.
