About

High performing teams operate with trust, clarity, alignment and accountability. An intentional approach stretches leaders and their teams to create new vision and new results. Intentional Teams operate with connection, engagement, collaboration, vision and execution.

One of the most common organizational challenges is getting a team of  people with diverse experiences and opinions to genuinely align on direction and process. Symptoms of dysfunctional teams include ineffective meetings, lack of follow through, confusion over roles and responsibilities, and competing interests.

Focus Areas

Team development improves performance by :

  • Fear of Retribution with High Trust
  • Veiled Agreement/Conflict with Constructive Dialogue/Debate
  • Compliance with Full-Buy-In and Commitment
  • Criticism and Defensiveness with Culture of Coaching & Feedback
  • Focus on Activity with Focusing on Results
  • Ego & Fragmentation with Camaraderie and Solidarity

Process

The scope of any team development project depends on the size and maturity of the team, its objectives and its challenges. The project is co-designed with the team leader to identify outcomes and design.

Generally, a team project has four phases with varying durations based upon scope:

  • Solution focused approach with client to determine the desired outcomes and success measures
  • Facilitate the client's identification of leadership behaviors that can be enhanced or developed.
  • Create awareness around the situational context for the leader.
