Build High Performing Teams

Research consistently shows that the need to work in teams and collaborate is going to continue to increase in the future. The days where you can operate as an “individual contributor” are in the past. In addition, the vast majority of teams are not meeting the definition of a high performing team. With the rapid pace of change and high levels of competition in all markets, it is increasingly important for work teams to be equipped with the skills, tools and habits necessary to drive the strategic objectives of the business.

We blend our talent strategy expertise with a scientific approach, backed by organizational psychology and neuroscience. This, combined with practical, hands on leadership experience, provides a powerful grounding to support the achievement of your organization’s strategic priorities. Through our research and experience, we have identified four factors high performing teams have in common: 1) Clarity about the vision and direction 2) Connection with one another 3) Communication that is open, respectful and direct, 4) Conscientiousness, which creates accountability and ownership for responsibilities and commitments.

When organizations operate with high functioning teams, they are significantly better equipped than their competitors to adapt, innovate and execute strategic plans. By providing teams with insight, skill building and ongoing coaching on team effectiveness, you will vastly increase the operating effectiveness of your teams, without unnecessary noise, negativity or distraction.

Upon completing this program participants will:

• Understand what a high performing team is and be inspired to operate as one.
• Have an increased awareness of current team dynamics, through the use of various team and individual assessments.
• Be more intentional about how they communicate and adapt to achieve team goals.
• Conduct potentially difficult conversations with greater ease and acceptance from others.
• Establish individual and team commitments for what they can do differently to contribute to a higher performing team dynamic.

This program is the first step in an ongoing Team Development and Team Alignment process that results in:
