Team development
Teams - and Leadership Teams in particular - exist to more efficiently achieve the goals of the organization: adaptability, engagement, and performance. We help teams develop so that they can achieve their goals.
It Starts With Awareness
Various tools exist to help team members and the team as a whole understand their impact:
- Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)
- Emotional and Social Competency Inventory (ESCI)
- Neethling Brain Instrument (NBI)
Adaptability: Establishing Team Dynamics
Teams don't just form and immediately make progress towards goals. They must establish norms of behavior:
- How do we deal with conflict?
- How do we build trust?
- What is our feedback process?
- How do we ensure accountability?
- How do we view and use our power?
engagement: building a leadership approach
Whether formal or informal, teams have a role to play in the leadership of an organization:
- What is our vision and direction for the organization we lead?
- What kind of culture are we building/reinforcing?
- How do we ensure cross-team synergies?
- What is our communication and messaging to the organization?
- How do we motivate and influence others?
performance: working effectively towards goals
Effective team performance is the ultimate goal:
- Strategic Planning / Roadmapping
- Tactical Execution
- Decision Making Processes
- Course Corrections
- Problem-Solving
