Water imagines it

Allow waters the ability to flow in their form.  Waters work best when able to work uninterrupted and able to direct the pace and rhythm of their inspiration.  Rush a water….. and you will get a rapid…. and not one that rushes in your direction either.  Give the waters on your team the ability to engage their energy in illuminating new ideas and leave the execution of how they should be achieved to others.

Metal engineers it

While waters bring the philosophy, Metals bring the physics to transcend them into reality.  Obsession with not only finding a way … but the best way is what Metals do best. Though the most meticulous and exceptional organizers of information, this rhythm can tend to get paralyzed by perfection.  Just as every engineer benefits from a builder to birth their blueprint into a living reality…. When metals cant move past their ocd modus operandi… it may be time to bring the wood to get the building actually built.

Wood builds it

Done extending the deadline?  Motivation and accountability are wood’s love language!  There is no better builder behind a bulldozer than a wood. Delivering on the dotted on the line, however, doesn’t come without a price.If the wood’s tunnel vision comes at the cost of team morale, it may be time to inject the metal back in the mix.Both metals and woods finish what they start… they just go about doing so differently … and with different motivations to fuel them there. 

Fire sells it

Once the water, metal, and wood element influence have contributed their share, fire sets it all a glow for the world to take notice!  Want to set your sales on fire…. Or attract a new audience all together? Add the fervor and infectious fun of fire to ignite the enthusiasm of your team and clients alike!

Earth grounds it

There is no buyer or seller without a marketplace …. And earths are the element that tie it all together.  Their foundational strength and stability are the literal glue that keep an organization together.  Through fat and lean years alike, the rhythm of the earth is one which sweetens all around it.  Every team needs an earth element to ground the gradient of perspectives into a single platform that unifies a team beyond mere professional productivity.
