Building high performing teams fit for a hybrid world

What does a good team look like to you? What do they feel like? Safe, productive, trusting, challenging yet fun?

And what difference does good teamwork make? Do they have better ideas, have an impact, deliver results, and, most importantly, are they happier?

Great teams are ones people want to be part of. And don't want to leave.

In contrast, where teams don't work, they can cause distraction and demotivation and waste - a waste of resources and waste of human potential. Left too long, they start to build toxic cultures of their own. Then you really do have a problem.

In a hybrid world, team-working and understanding what makes each other 'tick' is vital. That's made more difficult when people work across multi-workspaces and work more flexible hours.

How do you help individuals truly get to know each other and build trust when they don't spend so much time together?

How do you know how to develop healthy conflict when people aren't always in the same room?

How do you build commitment?

Our approach to team development answers these questions and more. We can help you see your team through three lenses:

 

behaviour lensBehaviour:                                                  We use the powerful and highly memorable psychometric tool Insights Discovery® to enable team members better understand each other and build positive team dynamics. When team members share the common language of Insights (sometimes known as the language of 'colour'), it removes friction, it builds trust, it aids understanding. This results in synergy.
motivation lensMotivation:                                                We use Motivational Maps® and its big sister, mojo, to help team members increase self-awareness, understand what's driving team performance, and how best to harness this. These tools explain why people behave as they do. Without motivation, nothing happens. It's the energy that fuels success. It helps team members articulate what really matters to them.
focus lens
Focus on results:                                      We use the Five Dysfunctions of a Team™ model (based on Patrick Lencioni's work) to build teams that deliver consistently strong results. We do this by helping people to build the necessary levels of trust to enable robust and necessary debate and challenge within teams, which leads to commitment, enables accountability and increases team performance. 
 

We've been combining these approaches with teams for years - and we know what works.
