Interpersonal fit is the degree of compatibility and harmony among team members in terms of their values, beliefs, behavioural preferences, and expectations. It is not about being, the same, more it is about a relevant and complementary diversity.
Interpersonal fit can make or break a team's effectiveness. Whether it's a a team in a start-up, a small business, or an established global organisation. A high level of interpersonal fit can create a positive and productive team environment, where team members can collaborate effectively, share ideas, and support each other. A low level of interpersonal fit can create a negative and dysfunctional team environment, where team members can experience friction, misunderstanding, and isolation.
Considering the interpersonal fit at an individual and collect level complements other assessments of competence and experience.
Appreciating how behaviours will "show-up" and the impact on individuals and the teams can not only avoid issues, but lead to greater performance and in shorter timeframes.
Teams invariably change, this can be as a result of expansion, reduction, mergers and acquisitions and/ or changes to key roles.
The increased flux and pressure on the team at a time change can amplify the results of a poor fit can have both an immediate and longer-term impact.

This allows for targeted development that will address known areas of weakness rather than generic and uniformed solutions that can be hit and miss.
