TEAM DEVELOPMENT

Building and maintaining a collaborative, high-performing team is one of the greatest challenges organizational leaders face. When team chemistry falters and conflicts arise, leaders often find themselves spinning their wheels - recognizing a problem exists, but unsure of how to address it. Poor team dynamics usually affects every team member, leading to decreased performance and commitment, and often driving talented employees to seek opportunities elsewhere. Recognizing these issues early and implementing strategies for improvement can create a more functional, cohesive, and motivated team.

 

​Our team development programs prioritize meaningful growth over traditional team building. Unlike typical feel-good activities with fleeting results, our workshops are designed around the High-Functioning, High-Performing Team Model and delve deep into team dynamics, addressing core issues to foster long-lasting improvements. Through enhanced awareness of personal and team strengths, we cultivate stronger relationships and improve communication and collaboration, psychological safety, commitment, and accountability among team members. We intend to create a more satisfied and effective team for the long haul!

​​

Customized Programs

​​

Our team development programs are tailored to meet the unique challenges faced by each group. We understand that diverse teams encounter different obstacles, which is why we work closely with managers and leaders to identify and evaluate these issues. Customizing our approach, we can effectively address day-to-day challenges that impact both performance and team member satisfaction. Together, we can create solutions that foster a more cohesive and productive work environment.

Psychometric Assessments 

​Leaders and managers often see only a portion of the challenges affecting team performance and satisfaction. We specialize in leveraging psychometric assessments like Gallup Strengthsfinder, NEO-PI, Communication Styles, Thomas-Kilman, and Organization Network Analysis. After diagnosing core team functioning issues, we create customized team development sessions that help get everyone aligned and pursuing the same goals. Together, we can unlock your team's true potential!

 Bringing together disparate personalities to form a team is like a jigsaw puzzle...We want to make sure our players fit together properly and complement each other...If personalities work against each other, as a team, you'll find yourself spinning your wheels.  - Pat Summit, University of Tennessee Women's Basketball Coach
