Team Strengthening
“Not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive advantage both because it is so powerful and so rare.”
-J. Richard Hackman
We can help you strengthen your team by:
- Clarifying your team's 'reason for being' and align it closely with its purpose, strategy (values, goals, objectives), and individual member roles.
- Defining and generating team dynamics, work practices, and culture (must-dos and must-never-dos) that turn your strategy into reality.
- Helping team members present a consistent, unified front as they individually and collectively shape relationships with external stakeholders.
- Increasing the capacity of team members to diagnose and develop team capability in response to any increased complexity and changes in their operating environment.
Your teams can be powerful amplifiers of individual effort if they are supported by conditions in which teamwork can thrive. While these conditions are not a guarantee of great teamwork, they are critical pre-requisites.
