WHY USE CONTRIBUTION COMPASS?
Your people and your time are precious
In almost every business, people represent the biggest overhead and monthly
operating cost. And yet most people work at less than 50% of their capacity and capability. This leaves a huge amount of untapped potential – and fulfilment.
Having the right people on a team delivering the right contribution of skills, creates sustainable success and harmonious work environments.
Therefore, the human capital in your business represents a huge opportunity for growth because people create energy, activity, and the best results, when they find ‘focus and flow’.
Valuing everyone’s contribution
WHAT IS CONTRIBUTION COMPASS?
Unlock your natural energy
Traditionally, teachers and employers often drive people to improve the areas in which we are ‘weakest’. We do the opposite. We support each other to focus on areas we are naturally good at and enjoy; areas in which we create the most value. We call these areas our ‘maximum contribution’ and they are classified by a persons ‘natural energy’.
The Contribution Compass profiling tool, enables you to identify your ‘natural energy’ and further understand your area of ‘maximum contribution’.
People with an activating energy accelerate and ignite change, bringing innovation and the ability to initiate new projects. They tend to tackle obstacles head-on, solve problems creatively and see new opportunities often missed by others. This energy sparks activity, drives others forward and maximises the view of the bigger picture and the visionary future ahead.
People with inspiring energy ignite the spark in others, rallying the team to support the shared vision while striving to excel, individually and collectively. They hear the voice and sentiment of the people in the team and build engagement, rapport and team spirit.
People with a sustaining energy bring others’ ideas to life through implementation and nurturing of growth over the long-term. They are grounded, realistic, and they understand the elements, resources and pace required to achieve sustainable growth and development.
People with a refining energy bring a sharp eye for detail, cutting through the noise and identifying risk with a factual and data-based perspective. They can assess and solve complex problems methodically, while optimising efficiency and return.

THE 8 CONTRIBUTION COMPASS PROFILES
Valuing everyone’s contributions
New to Contribution compass? Here’s the low down on the eight profiles…
ACCELERATING CHANGE
A Catalyst is a person who naturally brings change through accelerating a reaction or interaction, getting a raw Substance to interact in a vibrant and new way. Catalysts are dynamic, stimulating, driven and inciting. They excel at getting something going with energy, and are often found starting new businesses, leading a new project or taking an existing project on to its next big step. They easily plug into the world of ideas and into a vision of the future. Naturally innovative, they bring new ideas and creative approaches to any team.
BLAZING A TRAIL
A Champion is a person who, like a thunderbolt or a strike of lightning, shakes up the status quo and stirs people up to listen to the message they herald. Using their personal credibility, Champions shine a light on the cause they rally for and incite others to join them. They are vibrant and exciting, and the call they make to pay attention is hard to resist. They excel at taking a proven idea and broadcasting its value to a wide audience. Once they are confident that the idea is powerful and worth promoting, they demonstrate a magnetic quality, garnering support and enthusiasm.
IGNITING GREATNESS
A Coach is a person who ignites the fire and passion of others to work together as a team focused on bringing a central idea to life or supporting a product or service to shine. Coaches bring warmth, energy and inspiration, which lights up the path for others so that they may strive for personal excellence and team success. They excel at understanding and being tuned into people, tuning into their emotions as individuals and collectively as a group. They get what their team really need in order to overcome challenges.
BUILDING BRIDGES
A Connector is a person who brings people, ideas and resources together, and like a lake into which all rivers flow, they have a special gift that can unite the right people, at the right time and place. This ability to connect is driven from a combined understanding of what people really need, and the resources and opportunities available that may best serve those needs. They excel in communication and being able to talk through ideas, challenges and solutions to create a collective way forward in their area of expertise – the market that they know.
HONOURING THE PROMISE
A Custodian is a person who can nurture and support the ideas of others and bring them to life, while guarding and protecting the assets and resources under their care. Their gentle and supportive energy is grounded in their understanding of reality, resources, timing and practical considerations. They excel in their ability to get tasks done, maintain routines and honour commitments and deadlines, while ensuring that the right activity delivers tangible results.
NURTURING GROWTH
A Cultivator is a person who guides and shapes the growth of a team, project or enterprise through a subtle influence that seeks to adjust, refine, and develop. Just as a plant grows and strengthens through a flexible response to its environment, so too a Cultivator makes incremental adjustments in their environment to achieve long-term, sustainable growth. They excel in their ability to manage complex projects and deliverables, while making sure that resources are carefully managed and risk is mitigated in a timely manner.
OPTIMISING THE PERFORMANCE
A Conductor is a person who, just like the conductor of an orchestra, uses their focused and efficient energy to direct the singular instruments of the orchestra into a unified and optimised collective. With the wave of a baton, the conductor keeps the whole orchestra in rhythm and in tune. A Conductor also excels at making sure a process or function runs optimally and efficiently. With a natural affinity for analysis and data, a Conductor is able to find meaningful insights through information and the analysis thereof. Indeed, they revel in solving problems through logic and fact.
FINE TUNING THE INSTRUMENTS
A Calibrator is a person who ensures that the instruments used to create value are continuously refined and adjusted where necessary and in a repeatable fashion. These instruments could include the business model, the systems or technologies, the methodologies utilised, or any kind of tool required or applied in the delivery of the promise. This kind of energy is relentless in its pursuit of continuous improvement and incremental refinement. Calibrators excel when they can tinker with how the system works and experiment with new approaches to old problems.

LOOKING TO RECRUIT?
The Contribution Identifier
If you’re recruiting, you will have a good idea of the role you need to fill. But how will you know who the right person is for your practice and your team?
The Contribution Identifier is a free online assessment tool which gives you a clear outline of the profile most suitable for the role. It mitigates the risk that we place too much emphasis on skills, and do not reflect deeply enough on the contribution the role should ideally make.
The dynamics in any team have the potential to make your practice great. So you’ll want a perfect match every time. Follow this link to get started!
Placing people within roles that do not fit their profile can lower employee engagement and various other factors. Matching profiles with the right position throughout an organisation can positively impact every aspect of your veterinary business.
