	This article ~~examines different~~ models of organizational performance studied over recent decades and the ~~growing~~ understanding of how individuals ~~operate~~ and perform in ~~groups, which is crucial for other types of performance~~.		This article explores various models of organizational performance studied over recent decades and the increasing understanding of how individuals function and perform in organizations.

	When ~~accurately measured and condensed into adaptive profiles applicable~~ across a ~~wide range~~ of topics related to a company’s strategy and daily operations, ~~these measures offer~~ a new ~~foundation~~ for ~~enhancing~~ organizational performance.		When assessed precisely, measures of individual performance are relevant across a variety of topics related to a company’s strategy and daily operations, including attracting, recruiting, and empowering the talent it needs. They provide a new basis for understanding and improving organizational performance.

	Discussing these behaviors at the team and organizational levels increases the likelihood of reaching consensus. If social behaviors must be expressed differently across jobs and teams at varying levels of intensity and frequency, recruitment and management must ensure this.		Discussing these behaviors at the team and organizational levels increases the likelihood of reaching consensus. If social behaviors must be expressed differently across jobs and teams at varying levels of intensity and frequency, recruitment and management must ensure this.

	In our sports example, different social behaviors are expected of team members during competition. When training and socializing, athletes are expected to exhibit other social behaviors. How does their profile match what’s expected of them during ~~transing~~ and while competing? Once aggregated, the adaptive profiles provide the answer.

	As illustrated on the right, a more nuanced understanding of social behavior provides insights into other performance models, including how they are discussed, implemented, and complement one another. Whether a company deploys command-and-control, cybernetic, or holistic management control systems, its approach to performance analysis and management will be informed by the adaptive profiles. This is summarized in the table below.

	As the conceptualization of organizational performance and management control systems has dramatically progressed over the past decades, so has the understanding of people and their management. Although it takes more time than in technology, research in the social sciences has had the opportunity to build, break, challenge, and test the limits of many models and techniques. Adaptive profiles emerged from research in the 1950s in the USA and gradually began to penetrate organizations of all sizes worldwide.

	Just like with sports teams, people assume different roles in organizations and perform in various ways, influenced not only by their individual characteristics but also by how they interact and collaborate. How does individual performance on the field actually occur, and what results does it generate? The adaptive profiles provide some clues. Only when taken at a team level will it provide practical answers (see below).

	For instance, in rowing, in boats of eight, each rower assumes a different role, depending on their strengths and experience.

Seat 7 perfectly mimics the stroke’s rhythm to pass it back to the other rowers. Seats 6 to 3 located in the middle of the boat provide pure power and speed.
