Team Building: When Does Your Team Need Help

Are you concerned that your team isn't coming together?  Are you concerned that your team is not focused and is always in conflict?  If you answered yes, then it is time for you to consider getting some help for your team.  These are other times to consider:

WHEN YOU ARE WORKING WITH A NEW GROUP OR NEW MEMBERS

The workplace is in constant change and so are the teams we work with.  We help new teams agree upon and define goals and expectations, clarify roles, develop healthy communication patterns, respect diversity, and find ways accelerate their own development.  It can be very difficult to bring on new members and expect that they will have no difficulty becoming part of the new group.  We help team members learn about each other in a safe, non-defense manner.  We help teams develop trust.

TO LEARN HOW TO DEAL EFFECTIVELY WITH CONFLICT

Have you ever worked with a group where members were always in conflict?  Well, the truth is that it is not uncommon for teams to find themselves in the middle of conflict due to pressures, misunderstanding of roles and responsibilities, because leadership is ineffective, or maybe because of personalities that don't mix.  The result is always a decrease in team cohesiveness and a decrease in performance.  We help teams identify and resolve those sources tension and anger and focus attention on developing methods to resolve issues quickly.

WHEN YOU NEED TO ATTEMPT SOMETHING NEW

Anyone that has ever work as part of a team has experienced situations where change is necessary because the culture as changed.  Sometimes it is a change in leadership, other times it is a change in the organization.  We help teams renew their excitement and focus once again.

WHEN THE ORGANIZATION CHANGES

Organizations regularly go through changes that impact teams.  Teams are impacted by mergers and acquisitions, layoffs, funding issues, and other situations that challenge the organization.  It is especially important that teams understand the role they play as the organization goes through changes.  We help teams work to prepare, survive, and thrive throughout the changes.

WHEN YOU ARE SEARCHING FOR CREATIVITY AND INNOVATION

Sometimes teams need to focus on having fun.  We will develop experiential programs that help teams become more creative and energized.  Creativity leads to innovation, and innovation eventually leads to transformation.
