Building high value creating teams

Great teams are energising to be part of. They generate ideas, make an impact, deliver results — and maybe most importantly, they leave people feeling happier. These are the teams people choose to stay in.

But when teams don't work, the impact runs deep. Motivation dips. Time and energy are wasted. And slowly, the culture starts to fray. If left unchecked, this can tip into toxicity — and that’s a much bigger problem.

In a hybrid world, building strong teams takes more intention. Different workspaces, flexible hours, and fewer shared moments can make it harder for people to really get to know each other — and that makes trust and connection harder too.

So how do you help your team work with each other, not just around each other?

How do you create space for healthy challenge — even when you’re not in the same room?

How do you build real commitment, not just compliance?

Our approach to team development answers those questions.

To help a team be successful, team members need to develop their self-awareness. What behaviours come easier to them and which ones do they need to 'dial-up' and 'dial-down' to be even more successful? And team members need to understand each other too. What behaviours lead to friction and which ones result in greater trust? We use Insights Discovery to help individuals and teams develop this awareness. 

But behaviour alone is not enough. It is also important to know what drives that behaviour. Each person is fuelled differently - what motivates one person can drain another. We use Motivational Maps to help individuals and teams identify, measure and maximise their motivation.

About Insight Discovery®

Insights Discovery can help people perform at their highest level by enhancing their self-awareness. The tool allows individuals to adapt and connect with others, resulting in workplaces where innovation, creativity and productivity thrive.

It uses a language of colour that is simple to understand and easy to remember using a four-colour model. Every person has all four colour energies within them, but it is the combination of these energies which creates each unique personality. Whether you prefer to lead with Earth Green, Cool Blue, Sunshine Yellow or Fiery Red energy, our approach is to show you how to combine your colour energies to best effect, to get the best out of you and those around you. 

 

About Motivational Maps

Motivational Maps® is an ISO-accredited diagnostic tool that measures motivation — the energy that drives performance. It helps individuals and teams discover what motivates them most, how well those needs are currently being met, and what to do next.

 

Motivational Maps is unique in its ability to:

  Identify the intensity and order of nine core motivators

  Measure how well each motivator is being met

  Provide clear strategies for improving and sustaining motivation

  Offer a common language so teams better understand each other

 

When using Motivational Maps with teams, people talk openly about what drives and drains them. It provides new information and perspective about what is driving (and derailing) success in the team. As a result, tension disappears, support increases, and collaboration gets easier.

Insights Discovery and Motivational Maps work brilliantly together. When used in combination, these tools provide a complete, dynamic picture of both personality and motivation, helping teams unlock deeper engagement, productivity, and build teams people want to be part of.
