Team Development

High performing teams require clarity of purpose, trust, strong communication and decision-making skills, a solid implementation plan and the ability to handle conflict constructively. 

We work with your team to diagnose and resolve what’s holding them back. 

We side-step fault-finding and blame and engage your team in strengthening missing fundamentals, competencies and practices that lead to better performance and team dynamics.

Your team learns the language and frameworks for understanding their strengths and areas for improvement. We draw from a variety of tools including the Drexler/Sibbet Team Performance Model, The Kraybill Conflict Style Inventory, The Interchange Cycle and more.

Teams are dynamic and all group processes are an up and down journey. No matter what stage your team is at in its lifecycle, our pragmatic, visual approach will get your team on track to creating and sustaining the harmony they need to reach for higher performance.

Perfect for…

  • New teams starting up
  • Teams that are stuck or moving in different directions
  • Teams with trust issues
  • Teams struggling with execution/meeting deadlines
  • Teams that need new inspiration and renewal or a tune-up
  • Teams adapting to reorganizations and mergers

MAKING MAGIC

Our Approach

  • In our initial conversation, we’ll understand the history and profile of your team and determine an appropriate approach for diagnosing what’s holding your team back. We’ll also determine a strategy for educating team members about the team development process, dispelling fears and resistance and defining constructive outcomes together.

  • After educating the team on the process, we’ll diagnose where your team is at. This gives you a benchmark. Ideally, we’ll share the findings first with the team leader.

  • Next, we’ll design and facilitate a team improvement meeting to share the data with the team and discuss insights, all the while modeling best practices. If the situation allows, we can begin working on the team’s highest priority area for improvement in this meeting.

  • We’ll propose one or more team development sessions that address the root of your team’s struggles and moves your team forward.

  • We’ll suggest a follow-up plan for re-assessing your team to take stock of and celebrate progress.
