Everyone
wants teams to work, their way. There lie the seeds of
dysfunction.
.
In a competitive, results-oriented, and even political workplace,
if you put eight people together on a work-team, you are going
to get eight different sets of motivations and abilities for
making teams work.
.
ANOVA> understands the deep dynamics of teams
(motivational and behavioral) that support or undermine
team success. (The difference is important, because those who
cannot properly “diagnose” the shadowy side of human
nature, but instead work only on the bright warm-and-fuzzy side,
waste money, time and squander the credibility of the leader
when none can be wasted.)
.
We know how to work with a team to bring rational and collaborative
progress to the challenges at hand and chart a course to mutual
success. Quite simply, we consult, counsel and coach
teams:
.
• Needing to collaborate more, and get more from
their work
• Seeking a better way to make and support decisions
• Experiencing changes in leadership or membership
• Wanting to find ways to enjoy their work together
• At any stage of their life-cycle, from forming
to storming to norming to performing
.
The Art and Science of Teamwork, both of which are essential
for team success, will be applied to your situation. We start
with an assessment, make observations based on our robust experience
working with thousands of teams, and recommend a path that fits
your unique situation.
.
We may use classic tools to help the team understand its habits,
like the Myers-Briggs®, the DISC® and the FIRO-B™
(in our unique way that clients enjoy), or we may use newer
tools we have developed, like the DecidingStyles™
assessment, MeetingMatrix Process™
and the Team LifeCycle Inquiry™
to get at key elements of team functioning that must be addressed.
.
Our recommendations may include special team events like our
TeamVentures™ series to break
new ground, establish new practices of team dynamics, and help
members build habits that support total team success. Or we
may simply suggest a regular TeamTuneUp™
to make sure you keep tracking as a unit towards your intended
goal. .
