Nature v nurture

Had an interesting discussion last week (thanks Ruth Elliott) that really got me thinking. The classic debate around how much personality is genetic and how much is environmental. In my case we decided my Kiwi accent wasn't able to mask 100% German genes :-).

I've been thinking about how this applies to teams too. How much of a team's personality is part of their DNA and how much reflects their environment - what situational/systemic factors shape who they are and how they behave? And what would happen if the situation/system were different? A beneficial conversation for a team!


If you or your team would like support having that conversation, please get in touch.
