Teams
A group of people with a full set of complementary skills required to complete a task, job, or project.

Team members (1) operate with a high degree of interdependence, (2) share authority and responsibility for self-management, (3) are accountable for the collective performance, and (4) work toward a common goal and shared rewards(s). A team becomes more than just a collection of people when a strong sense of mutual commitment creates synergy, thus generating performance greater than the sum of the performance of its individual members.

Team Formation and Integration

This engagement is designed for newly formed teams, reconstituted teams, and teams desiring a refresh or boost .  We work with the leader and the entire team to outline the team's vision, purpose, operating values and outcomes in the context of the corporate mission.  As a team we clarify and validate team members roles and develop a decision making model.  Utilizing an assessment instrument, eg: DiSC. StandOut or any tool currently being deployed by the organization, we build an understanding of individual and team strengths and challenges.  We identify gaps and create strategies about how to fill them.  Finally we establish goals and measurements for the team's success.  We create check points to ensure the team is optimizing what was created during the engagement.

Program design: specific application defined by sponsoring leader and facilitator/coach
