team effectiveness, done responsibly.
new team formation
group goals are not yet clear and members depend on the leader for safety and direction
conflict & resistance
teaming is never a one time event. our approach draws from different team development models to bring you the most informed solutions, based on where your team might be.
​
we're trained to responsibly draw out the tension in groups to unlock group performance and enhance individual development.
the group develops a unified set of goals and procedures, which generates conflict. Member participation increases and efforts to resolve conflict form trust
productive norming
more flexible communication, cohesion & trust improve while the leader's role becomes less directive as the group self-regulates and uses norms that contribute to performance
work & productivity
intense team productivity and effectiveness where the team focuses its energy on goal achievement. members are clear about their role and feedback behaviors are prevalent
preventative maintenance
as part of a climate of excellence, the team invests in continuous improvement and optimizations, which contribute to identifying possible conflicts before they become problems
